Fare wars to Germany

by Grant Martin (RSS feed) on Jan 3rd 2008 at 5:30PM

Usually around this time of the year trans oceanic ticket prices start to fall. And winter and spring is a great time to travel if you're a northerner (see pictured: my car yesterday), so if you can take advantage of some of the good fares it's often pretty easy to bang out a quick vacation at minimal cost.

The first slew of good prices this year seem to be to destinations in Germany. Searching from a variety of departure points, I'm finding prices around the 400$ range to anywhere from Munich to Dusseldorf to Hamburg to Frankfurt, leaving over various times in the next few months.

Sure, it's not the warmest part of the year in Germany, but if you've got friends, family or an adventurous streak you can always slip out for a few days and enjoy some authentic German food and beer. Or, if you're willing to make a couple of connections you can always leave immediately from Frankfurt or Dusseldorf on a low-cost-carrier and be in the Mediterranean in a heartbeat.

Happy travels!
