Hey all,
Not a newbie, but can’t seem to remember what email I originally set up my account with. It has been a while. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had tips for finding a last minute flight. My holiday plans have fallen through and I haven’t been to Europe in a few years. I have a couple weeks off from school coming up. I’ve been looking around, but things are pricey like I figured.

Well, if anyone has any tips for websites and such I would appreciate it!
Greg

If your dates fall between 12/19 and 1/4 try http://www.farecompa…

I’d also try http://matrix.itasof…
Click “log in as a guest”, select the month-long search, enter dates and a trip duration that work for you, and put in your departure airport and a list of airports in Europe such as mad; bcn; fra; lon; ams; cdg; mxp to see what you find.

From where? Exactly how much flexibility — length of stay, earliest possible outbound and return dates, alternate airports nearest you, preferred/not preferred destinations?

Hello,
Thanks for the replies. I thought about this when I woke up. I am in Phoenix, AZ. Can fly out of LAX as well. My window is 12/19-1/3. Those are the dates I’m looking at. I am open to anywhere in Europe. So many places left to see and visit.
Thanks again!
Greg
I will take a look at the sites as well.

I’m having a really hard time finding anything for you. I tried ITA, us.lastminute.com, GoToday. According to Farecompare looks like some decent fares it you’re outbound Dec. 24 and back around Jan. 8, but I don’t think that will work for you.

I did not try student sites or consolidators for you yet. See our new user thread—top of this forum—if you need links to those.
