How to Fly to Europe for Super Cheap? Confirm Can! ✈️💸
Ever seen someone brag about snagging a €10 flight from Paris to Rome and secretly thought, "Why can't I ever find tickets this cheap?" 😩 Don't worry, today, we reveal the secrets to hunting down budget airline tickets that we've successfully used to explore Europe without burning a hole in your pocket! 🔥
📌 Step 1: Think "Don't Need a Destination, Just Snatch Ticket First!"
Here's the painful truth: some people look for tickets then choose a destination, while you choose a destination then look for tickets, no wonder your tickets aren't cheap! 🤯
👉 The secret is: Be flexible about location and timing. Instead of insisting on going to Italy in June, expand your options and let cheap tickets lead the way.
📍 Useful Tools:
- Google Flights (Use the "Explore" function to see where's the cheapest)
- Skyscanner ("Whole month" to find the cheapest day to fly)
- Kayak (Track prices to know when prices drop)
📌 Step 2: Know Which Airline to Choose – Ryanair, Wizz Air or easyJet?
If you travel to Europe and haven't flown Ryanair, Wizz Air, or easyJet, then you haven't experienced the art of ultra-cheap travel! 😆
But be careful, cheap tickets mean a ton of hidden fees! 💸
🚨 Important Notes:
- ✅ Ryanair: Only allowed 1 small bag! If you accidentally bring 2 bags... get ready to run around the airport looking for a rubbish bin to combine your luggage! 😅
- ✅ Wizz Air: Often has super cheap tickets if you sign up for the Wizz Discount Club membership.
- ✅ easyJet: Fewer fees than Ryanair but still need to be careful with luggage.
📝 Small tip: If your hand luggage exceeds the size, don't rush to pay the fee! Wear many layers of clothing or try taking some things out and putting them in a plastic bag to stuff in your jacket. 😉
📌 Step 3: Check-in Online – Or Lose Money!
✈️ If you fly Ryanair or Wizz Air, failing to check-in online beforehand will result in a hefty fine at the airport! Some people forgot to check-in and were charged... €50 just to print a small piece of paper! 😭
📌 How to avoid losing money:
- Always check-in at least 24 hours in advance
- Use the airline's app to save your ticket (saves you the trouble of printing)
- Double-check your luggage size before heading to the airport
📌 Step 4: Book Tickets at the Right Time – Don't Wait for Discounts and Miss Out!
📆 When are tickets the cheapest?
- 2-3 months before the travel date is ideal
- Flying mid-week (Tuesday - Thursday) is cheaper than weekends
- Early morning or late-night flights are often cheaper
❌ Common mistake people make:
Waiting too long for the price to drop → By the time you need to book, the ticket price has doubled! 😭
📌 Tip: Use Google Flights' "price tracking" feature to get notifications when ticket prices drop!
📌 Step 5: Avoid the "Traps" of Cheap Tickets
💰 Tickets may be cheap, but if you're not careful, you could end up spending twice as much on unreasonable fees!
🚨 Fees you should be wary of:
- Airport check-in fee: As mentioned, Ryanair charges €50 if you forget to check-in online!
- Airport far from the city center: Some budget airlines land at airports far away, getting to the city center might cost more than the plane ticket! 🚖
👉 Example: Flying to Paris Beauvais instead of Charles de Gaulle could cost an extra €17 for the bus!
- Flight change fees: If you're unsure about your schedule, buy flexible tickets or avoid super cheap non-refundable tickets.
🔎 In summary, how to fly to Europe for the cheapest price?
- ✅ Flexible mindset – Choose a destination based on ticket prices
- ✅ Smart ticket hunting – Use Skyscanner, Google Flights to compare prices
- ✅ Choose airlines carefully – Ryanair, Wizz Air or easyJet?
