Cheapest way to travel to Europe??

Question

from Australia?? i dont care about the airline or anything, just want to make it the CHEAPEST possible!!

major budget!!

Answer 1

what is travelling for? It is to enjoy life. If the cheapest way does not provide you with certainty, quality, safety, happiness then what is it for?!

You may find a job that needs you to work in Europe.

You can discuss this with some travel agency. They have such plans to satisfy the youngsters' needs.

Cheap and Fun!

Answer 2

stow away on a really big boat

Answer 3

I've done backpacking and a cruise.  With backpacking I expected it to be so cheap but I spent over $1000 on just food! Not to mention taking ferries, camp ground fees, water, taxis, subways. It all added up so fast.

Cruise was the way to go. I went from Rome all the way around to Stockholm and since all meals were included, it was a bargin compared to the backpacking. I used princess cruises, but Im sure there are less expensive cruise ships.

Answer 4

Try Tiger Air return Singapore.

Then Say Emirates/ Singapore Air ( shop around.) ( Remember the Singapore Dollar May give U around a 30% start.)

Flying  Singapore return Rome, could be cheaper than say  using London.

Use Ryan Air & or Easy Jet to get from A to B,once U get there.

Consider Eurail passes ( But don't assume they R cheaper than waiting till U get there & purchase Point to Point.

In Europe Rail travel wins hands down for comfort.

Use Backpacker hostels of course but don't forget Budget Hotels especially if you R NOT travelling alone.

Bus Travel is cheap but slow & tiring.

Under no circumstances travel in Europe in their peak season ( Suicide would be a better option.)

And if that's not enough, don't forget the 3 golden rules of travel.

1st.  Travel Light.

2nd  Travel Light.

3rd.  Travel Light.

Good luck.

Answer 5

See if u can find someone whoz willing to let u be an on-board courier...u can save a fuckload that way

I dunno a lot of companies that do it in australia...the only one i know of (www.jupiterair.com.au/obc.htm) doesnt do it anymore.

There are a fair few websites and agents that might be able to fetch u a return ticket for around $2000 if ur not looking to fly right away

Answer 6

Well, as you are asking for the cheapest way;  that would be by swimming.  The next would be on a raft.

Answer 7

book early.

buy a open ticket three years in advance... your sure to get a major bargain. If your young and you KNOW you will travel, save up and buy it as soon as possible.

OR

ma dad once flew on a mail airplane for free from san diego to LA....

i know that stand-by tickets are ridiculously cheap...

i got a stand-by ticket from seoul to sydney, because i changed plans and wanted to come home early and all tickets were booked out.

basically what a stand-by ticket is.... you go to the airport on the day and wait. 15 mins before you airplane departs, if they have space they allow you to buy a ticket. (if somebody cancels or sumthing) its cheap, but risky, coz you mite not make the flight....

i seriously dont recomend the low cost carrier services... they arnt THAT much cheaper... once you start flying alot... you will realise that its worth it to pay and extra $30-$60 for a hot meal, wine and heaps better service. virgin, jet star, tiger all that cheap sh*t... it really isnt worth it. Also el-cheapO carriers dont let you change plans nor do they give you a refund if things go badly.

after uni games, once i used virgin... and man they had the crappest service EVER. computer malfuntion and 1/3 of passengers stranded, and baggage ariving at different times... bla bla bla

seriously tho, you get what you pay for.
