In two months from now, the trans-Atlantic prices plunge: more November blockbusters
I've repeatedly written about the low-cost autumn Europe that takes form, like an apparition gaining flesh and bones, on November 1 and thereafter. The baseline for all other November packages is the $579 charged by Go-Today (www.go-today.com) for round-trip air from the east coast and six nights of accommodations with breakfast daily in London -- a price that's only $80 more than was charged in November of 2006 (add on charges from other U.S. cities are extremely reasonable). But perhaps even more noteworthy than Go-Today's $579 London package is the surprising $599 it will be charging from November 1 to mid-December, and again in January and February, for round-trip air to Paris and six nights in a modest Parisian hotel (with continental breakfast every morning). Take a look, if you haven't yet, at Go-Today.com and all sorts of interesting travel possibilities will occur to you.
Those values are matched by the indomitable Paul Laifer, who for decades has been offering a fall/winter air-and-land package to Prague for only $699: round-trip air on Czech Airlines (from JFK New York only), six nights' hotel with full buffet breakfast daily, round-trip airport-to-hotel transfers, and half-day sightseeing, from November 1 to December 10 and January 2 to March 31. Considering the distance flown, that's an even better bargain than Go-Today offers, especially because the hotel used is a charming property in the very heart of the city, a five-minute walk from glorious Wenceslas Square. You reach Paul Laifer Tours at www.laifertours.com or tel. 800/346-6314.
Monday: the November bargains to Rome.
