1. A practical part of long-term travel planning.
2. Focus on a certain region of the world.
In April, we’ve been focusing on educating travelers about airfare options for your big trip, along with a focus on travel in Europe.
There are lots of companies to shop for and purchase airfare for a trip. But Indie, BootsnAll’s multi-country flight finder, still remains the easiest tool to use to build, price, and book a multi-stop trip completely online, no matter how short or long that trip is.
If you’re planning a big trip and Europe is at the center of it, check out the following five trip ideas to help get you started.
If any of the trips below entice you, simply click on Price this trip on the map to get a price.
Even if it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, you can customize any of these trips to make them your own – just become a BootsnAll Member (it’s free) , and you can unlock all of Indie’s capabilities.
Travel England and France
Europe lends itself perfectly to short trips as well as longer ones. If you only have a week or two, you can fly into one major city, travel around overland by train or bus and make your way to another major destination, then head home from there.
Europe for a Month
Have a little longer? What could you do with a month in Europe? How about flying into Paris, making your way around France, Germany, and Denmark overland, then heading back home?
46 Days, 5 Countries
If you want to see as much as you can, it’s possible to combine flying with overland travel like this trip. Head to London, travel overland to Paris and Amsterdam, then fly down to Athens before making your way to Lisbon on your way back home. Enough time to see a lot of different countries and cultures without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
