Fifth Annual Budget Travel Resolutions
Cheap Flights

By Mark Kahler, About.com

Resolution #2: I will save time and therefore money with Europe's budget airlines.

The rise of Europe's budget airlines makes visiting the continent an entirely new experience.

Not long ago, it was expensive and inconvenient to fly between European destinations. No longer.

The budget carriers are opening up new markets, providing low-cost service from hubs like London.

It would be a mistake to simply fly from capital to capital without seeing the countryside. Rail passes and car rentals are still perfectly wonderful ways to get around Europe. But if you mix in a few well-timed and well-priced budget flights, you can expand your itinerary. You'll spend more time exploring and less time sitting in transit.
