Flights!

Just in case you have misplaced the new digest, here is all the important information on flights.

Please plan on being in Hungary/Slovakia from June 25th to August 10th.

Here are some very useful websites:

www.kayak.com
www.studentuniverse.com
www.statravel.com (this is great if you might have to change your travel dates--it's only $35 to change your flights)
www.discountfares.com
www.ba.co.uk
www.virginatlatnic.co.uk
www.hotwire.com
www.expedia.com
www.orbitz.com
www.travelocity.com
www.skyscanner.com (thanks Hannah!)

Also, Kristi brought up the great point that it is sometimes cheaper to fly into a major hub such as London (or Frankfurt/Paris) and then use a cheaper European airline (such as www.easyjet.com).

This is a great point, but there are two things to be aware of.

-Make sure that the timing aligns. You might have a large layover
-Sometimes the cheaper airlines fly out of different airports (e.g. instead of flying out of Heathrow or Gatwick, a lot of them fly out of Luton or Stansted). Make sure you check this out beforehand.

Other great cheap European airlines include:

www.ryanair.com
www.wizzair.com (this one is Hungarian :o) )


If you find any good deals, please post on this post and email to the group!

Finally, I'd like you guys to think of places you'd like to have the final concluding session. We could have it in Budapest, but other cities are possibilities too. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks so much!
