PSA: Flights to Europe...
are stupid cheap right now. We weren't planning to purchase tickets for our baby-bucket-list trip to Amsterdam until the fall, but it's getting harder to resist. They are down to $750 pp from Boston on a major, non-budget airline. I know the situation with Greece seems to only be getting worse, but it's hard to imagine them getting much lower than that.
Anyone else tempted to throw caution to the wind and buy a ticket across the pond?
Re: PSA: Flights to Europe...
I'm leaning toward Thailand. And we wouldn't bring baby. Though this is all subject to change once he or she arrives!! I'd take baby to Europe but not a continent I'm unfamiliar with. But if we don't end up getting PG soon, we may have to use those points as a pick-me up trip.
I would do that in a second. Not going to lie, a similar deal is 100% the reason we are going to France. I snagged a crazy good price for tickets between Atlanta and Paris, bought them, then called H and was like, "So we're flying into and out of Paris. Let's figure out a trip..." He's been to Paris a few times before, so that's why we're going to Provence for most of this trip. I've never seen Paris so we'll do a couple days there at the end. But I tend to like smaller towns anyway, so I'm excited that the bulk of our trip will be elsewhere. If I can get flights to Europe below $850, I don't even burn points. Amsterdam is a particularly expensive city, so yeah I would jump.
Good to hear you concur that it would be a fine place to go PG! I wanted to avoid France or Spain and make sure I could enjoy the wine when I go there someday. Of course I'm getting way ahead of myself here, and would be very lucky to conceive that quickly.
I'll let you know if any questions come up! One thing we've been doing to help get excited is learning some Dutch on the Duolingo app. I know everyone speaks English there, but it's still fun to get a feel for the language.
@als1982 Thailand would be amazing! FX you won't need to use those points anytime soon!
@hoffse because of my work schedule we'll actually have to go in March. I know it's not considered the ideal timing for that trip, but I have a pretty serious hatred of crowds so a quieter time at the museums will be a big benefit. Flights and housing (we're probably gonna go AirBnB) are also much cheaper.
Another theory is that Aer Lingus is trying to stay competitive with WOW, which just came to Boston. If that's the case I'm assuming it's a temporary situation.
