For small-scale travel on the continent, Let’s Go suggests budget airlines for budget travelers, but more traditional carriers have made efforts to keep up with the revolution. The Star Alliance Europe Airpass offers economy-class fares as low as US$65 for travel within Europe to 216 destinations in 44 countries. The pass is available to non-European passengers on Star Alliance carriers, including Air France and AirCorsica. See www.staralliance.com for more information. In addition, a number of European airlines offer discount coupon packets. Most are only available as tack-ons for transatlantic passengers, but some are stand-alone offers. Most must be purchased before departure, so research in advance.
The emergence of no-frills airlines has made hopscotching around Europe by air increasingly affordable. Though these flights often feature inconvenient hours or serve less popular regional airports, with ticket prices often dipping into single digits, it’s never been faster or easier to jet across the continent. The following resources will be useful not only for crisscrossing France but also for those ever-popular weekend trips to nearby international destinations.
