[Idyllchat] Fw: flights

[Russ Crum]

On all of our Europe trips we have always scheduled our own flights.  
We usually start about a year ahead casually watching fares to start  
developing a feel for a reasonable fare. About six months ahead we  
begin watching more frequently - maybe weekly. Once we are within  
four or five months, we then watch daily. By that time we have  
usually resolved the feasible alternative airport cities on each end.  
It is important to look at various cities, if you have that  
flexibility, because you might find a significant difference  
sometimes. It is all a bit of work, but it all goes with planning the  
trip!

There are a number of web sites that cover fares from most airlines.  
You need to check those but also be sure you check individual airline  
web sites. You may well find different flights.
