Despite a weak dollar, travellers with a yen for international air fares should rejoice because there are some very good budget air fares out there from carriers you may never have heard about. Interesting new airlines with whimsical names like Wizz Air or Flyaboo will take you to good locations anywhere, often at considerably less than what the major carriers charge. Of course, you'll have to get Europe first to take advantage of some of these budget air fares, but if you need to travel quickly between countries for business or pleasure, you should check out Air Baltic, bmi baby, Brussels Airlines, Condor, Germanwings or Jet2.com. To get the best cheap international air fares, plan to travel in Spring and Autumn, mid-week, and early mornings or late evenings. Don't forget to check on these airlines' websites if you can travel at the drop of a hat. They often feature last-minute discounts that can make cheap airfare tickets a real bargain.
