Step 1
Decide your EU destination. Pick two airports you could use for your departure and two for your arrival to get a better choice of rates.
-
Step 2
Come up with possible, but changeable dates of travel. Leave this as flexible as you can to get the most selections. Some airlines have low pricing on specific days or run specials certain times of the year.
-
Step 3
Start with the popular ticket comparison websites. Try to use two or more to get the best selection of cheap tickets to EU countries.
-
Step 4
Select reliable sources like Travelocity.com, Orbitz.com, Lowfares.com, Hotwire.com, Priceline.com, Expedia.com, Kayak.com, Cheapflights.com and BookingBuddy.com. Use the exact same details (seat class, number of passengers, layovers and so on) for each search.
-
Step 5
Pick various dates and times for travel to and from the EU. Narrow the list to the cheapest ones and print list.
-
Step 6
Find the website of the airline going to the EU country you are traveling to. Most websites will have a ".com" after the name, like BritishAirways.com or United.com. Look for any website specials or other cheaper tickets advertised there. Call one of the airline representatives to ask about getting discounts or other savings on plane tickets.
-
Step 7
Go to online and local travel agencies, like American Express or AAA travel club. Tell them you are comparing prices and looking for cheap tickets to fly to the EU and see what they can offer you. Sometimes travel agents get special packages not found at other places or will match (or do better than) other deals you have already found.
-
Step 8
Compare all of the ticket prices you have found. Choose the cheapest tickets that will work for your situation.
