Cheap tickets to Germany?

I35it · 06-17-2014, 12:48 PM

Just curious where you guys buy your tickets for going to Germany?

I heard of things for buying them on Tuesdays or Thrusdays. Also, I am wanting to travel for xmas time for 3 weeks. This wont be my first time going, but it is my first time buying my own ticket. (thank you military and rich girls) Thanks for any answers you can give!

Don't go at Xmas. Don't book more than three months out. You'll get better pricing when combining with a hotel, either on the airline site or with a consolidator like Expedia or Orbitz.

We're looking at tix now and flying out on Tuesday does seem to be cheaper, although not by much. Try to travel as far away from Xmas and New Year's Day as possible if you can frame your 3 week stay.

If you wanna be really cheap, consider breaking up your flight. For example, fly to London and then use a budget airline like Ryan Air or Easy Jet to fly to one of the smaller airports in Germany (ie. Hahn airport is about an hour from Frankfurt).

From most US cities Frankfurt am Main and Munich are generally cheaper than Heathrow or Gatwick and then you won't have to deal with Ryan Air at all.

What are the best flights to Vancouver? I saw in your YouTube videos you don't have a ring on your finger. That needs to be changed!

Creeper up here, JK!!

Anyways, I wish I could not go for xmas but my mom is demanding that I go and visit her during that time so I dont a have a choice in the matter. Thanks for all the help so far! So far I have found flights to be a little cheaper to Berlin, then I could Ryan it up. I have used them a lot so not to worried.

Don't forget the rail. High speed can be comparable time and price wise to flying and doesn't require getting x-rayed.

My advise: just buy the cheapest ticket to your end destination. Nothing is a bigger hassle than changing to some budget peasant airline like Ryanair after having spent 10+ hours in the air already. Don't get me going on taking a train after that. For the few dollars you save, it's not worth impacting your holiday.
