Travel plans settling in
Last November
I was pondering where I would go on vacation, using my much cherished bonus vacation week from
passing the UFE.Well my schedule is settling down - which means I had a chance to get my vacation time booked. With the work side of the equation at rest, I went ahead and started purchasing my tickets to Europe. I'm ready to fly - and I'm leaving for London at the end of April. May is going to be a
fun month!
My friends at work opened my eyes to the Ryanair and related websites - the big Expedia/Travelocity services won't reveal the ridiculously good deals you can get for flights around Europe.
It really does make me jealous - how come North America can't enjoy similar deals? Perhaps the Americans do - Canadians don't have much variety. Then again, we also have a very sparse population which probably doesn't help.
I'm still baffled by the business model of the European budget airlines - how do you survive offering so many virtually free fares? I'm sure someone has an answer. I'm going to have to look around to find said answers. Or perhaps one will conveniently land in my lap.
