The Stop for Cheap Airline Tickets

Now is the perfect time to purchase discount airfare to Africa.

Africa holds a very special place in the psyche of the human race. The African land mass held them there, captivated by the beauty of its land, the wild jungles and savannahs, and the amazing mix of cultures that have flourished. Underlying the face of modern Africa, beneath the veneer of colonial artifact, is a brief glimpse at the most archetypal of human endeavors and imagination – the pyramids, tribes of Zulu and Masai, wild life red in tooth and claw. Today’s visitors will often speak of how Africa is in some mysterious way a life-changing experience. At the very least, it is the experience of a lifetime.

Suddenly Barcelona has become the weekender capital of Europe. Visitors jet in on low-cost flights for the fun lifestyle, superb Mediterranean climate, and an unrivalled location that offers easy access to the delectable coves of the Costa Brava, scenic mountain trails of the Pyrȳnȳes, historic cities of Gerona and Tarragona, and wealth of Gothic and Romanesque monuments that fill the countryside.

Yet for all its outward changes the city remains at heart what it’s always been: practical, businesslike, proletarian, nonconformist, rebellious, artistic, and unabashedly hedonistic. It’s a heady, complex blend that has survived many a dark time and whose freewheeling Mediterranean spirit is epitomized in the bustling Rambla avenue, which runs all the way down to the port from Plaza Catalua along the source of a former riverbed. All this makes for a spirit as communal and sociable as the city’s traditional Sardana dance, in which no one leads and no one follows and everyone moves together in unison.

Travel to Amsterdam this spring for the perfect getaway.

There is a fairy tale quality to the tree-lined canal streets of Amsterdam.

Boutiques, cafes and hotels may hide behind the facades of the gabled townhouses, but the look of this beautiful city hasn’t changed much since its 17th-century Golden Age. No matter how many times you walk along the canals, they are enchanting to see, even when traffic and whizzing bicycles dispel the Old World illusion.

Anne Frank House: Many decades after World War II, a line still forms almost every day with visitors waiting to view the small, hidden rooms where 13-year-old Anne Frank wrote her famous diary. Eight people, family and friends, lived in this space, hardly daring to speak aloud for more than two years, hoping in vain to escape the Nazis. The bare rooms have lost none of their impact or poignancy with the passage of time.

Between dips into artistic and historic treasures, take time to simply absorb the freewheeling spirit of this vibrant city.

Would you like to purchase discount airfare to London this Spring?

The City of London, the city’s financial district (and home to St. Paul’s Cathedral, Fleet Street and the Tower of London), is a must for history lovers — it is where London began, as the original square mile built by the Romans, and it still exists as its own self-governing entity.

Once a venue for duels, executions and royal hunts — and a giant potato field during WWII — Hyde Park is now a manicured park filled with lounging sunseekers along the Serpentine Lido and joggers running a broad path through the English countryside.

As the gateway to the West End of London, Piccadilly Circus is where five of London’s busiest streets meet. During the day it’s a bustling area filled with tourists, shoppers and businesspeople. By night, it vibrates with life and a big party vibe. Joining the masses to shop, dine and sightsee.

Whether you’re going to visit family and friends or just to check out something new, Poland has a lot to offer. From $467 roundtrip, you can fly with discount airfare from Chicago to select destinations — including Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow and more — when you book by December 31.
