Cheap Flights to Europe
Europe offers dense airline and rail networks, but the lowest flight fare is not always the lowest-cost journey. Compare airports, bags and onward transport together.

Flight planning
Use Europe’s airport choice carefully
Many cities have a primary airport plus one or more secondary gateways. Secondary airports can support lower fares but may be farther from the destination and have limited late-night transport.
Open-jaw trips—arriving in one city and departing from another—can reduce backtracking when the itinerary includes rail travel, though separate one-way fares should be compared with a return ticket.

Low-cost fare realities
A personal item may be the only baggage in the lowest fare. Add cabin bags, checked bags and seating needs before comparing with airlines that bundle more services.
Connections on separate bookings introduce extra risk because missed-flight protection may not extend across tickets.
