Mike FriedmanEver wanted to go to Vienna (Austria, not Virginia) for less than the cost of your typical shopping trip to Whole Foods? (Even includes flight from Vegas to Vienna.) How about a hamburger in Hamburg (not recommended) or a visit to the Berlin Wall, where you can reenact David Bowie’s song “Heroes?” Well, now’s your chance with our hot deals.
Our friends at Notiflyr (see our weekly fare deals) have alerted us to some great deals around the US which will get you to Europe for under $300. Almost all are on British Airways. You’ll be able to stay about a week and the best deals are if you can fly midweek. Here are just a few of the dozens that we found. Remember, if we didn’t list your city, just use Skyscanner to check.
Vienna – Including Vegas to Vienna
Vienna is best known for its music scene. No, not the current one, although I’m sure that there are some wunderbar Austrian boy bands. Rather, think classical, such as Mozart and Beethoven. You can see Haus der Musik, where the masters composed and performed, as well as visit the Vienna State Opera.
It’s not just music, though. A trip to St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Museum of Fine Arts should be on every visitor’s list. Zoologists (and others) can visit the Tiergarten, the oldest zoo in the world.
Sample Flights
Vegas to Vienna for $290 on British Airways.
Los Angeles to Vienna for $303.
New York to Vienna for $290.
Berlin
Home to a famous wall and the location of such classic movies as Gotcha! and Eurotrip, Berlin is one of the top tourist destinations in Europe.
In Berlin, it’s all about the history. The Brandenburg Gate is representative of hundreds of years of German history, while other sites are symbolic of different periods. Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall and Museum are destinations for those who want to learn about Berlin during the Cold War. And the Reichstag and Holocaust Memorial bracket the most shameful period in the city’s history, Nazi Germany.
Sample Flights
New York to Berlin is as low as $312.
San Francisco to Berlin clocks in at $332.
Washington DC to Berlin is also as low as $332.
Other Cities We’ve Seen
These deals aren’t limited to the cities above. You should be able to find similar deals to other German cities, such as Munich, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover and Stuttgart. We’ve also seen fares under $300 to Zurich, if Switzerland is on your wish list.
Act fast! We have no idea how long these fares will be around.
