Default Booked a flight...

to Vienna (Austria) to visit my parents.... During the last 6 years that I live in Florida - I have been only once back to Austria... I'm going to be there from 11/18 - 11/25.... I'm not really crazy about flying back (especially during fall because it's pretty chilly there... However - my parents want me to visit them (even though they spend almost 2 months/year here in Florida)...
The best part: The price of the trip! I only paid $299 for the roundtrip (+$86 airport taxes)..... That's cheaper than some domestic flights :eek: :eek:

:cheers:

Olivier

It costs me almost twice that much to fly from Baltimore to Pittsburgh. Have a good trip. If you need someone to watch you car, let me know

If you don't mind the query, where did you find this deal? Priceline.com? Cheap Tickets.com?

Thanks.

If you don't mind picking your stuff up in Austria - I can bring some things... However - there's not too much space in my suitcase because of all the winter clothes...

Thanks.
I found the best deal on Expedia.. However - when I tried to book the flight it said that the fare wasn't available anymore... Therefore - I directly went to the website of the airline whose rate was displayed in Expedia but not available anymore.. (ALITALIA).. So I went to ALITALIA's website and booked the flight there.. They still had the $299 + Taxes fare available!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
