UK and Europe Cheap Tickets

Theatre breaks are surprisingly cheap

Here’s an interesting one that I thought you guys might like. This company is offering some really good deals where you combine a theatre ticket and a London hotel for one low price: Top Show and Hotel from £49pp - Best show, seats and Prices BOOK NOW

If you’ve ever been to the West End theatre district in London you already know that theatre tickets are expensive and hotel prices are much worse. This seems like a really good idea to combine the two and save some dosh at the same time.

Superbreaks are a few clicks away

I recently wrote about last minute city breaks, but not everyone can get away that quickly so I thought I’d mention another favorite, Superbreaks: Superbreak - Just 3 Clicks To Book

If you have never heard of Superbreak, they organize holidays based on a theme, and they do it at very low prices. There’s one on here for a 3-star hotel at a beach in Majorca for £17 per person. If you head down there on that break you’ll probably be seeing me because I don’t think I can afford NOT to go!

I don’t settle for inflated hotel prices, and neither should you!

I recently got an e-mail from someone called Nigel who asked me how I make sure I always get the best possible price on my frequent hotel stays. I don’t have the time to respond personally, Nigel, but I hope you read this: Low price guarantee on over 17000 hotels

The fine people at hotels.com UK have pushed around the hotel chains and the result is they’ve agreed to guarantee the lowest possible price at over 17,000 of them so far. My sources over there say this is mostly arranged by these two goons who come in threatening the managers to make sure the price they offer is the lowest possible price. But between you and me, I think this guy is making that part up. There’s no way this could be done with only two guys. How many hotels would they have to visit each day in order to be up to 17,000 already?

Super Affordable Northern Alps Ski Accommodations

Hurling yourself down a mountain while strapped to wooden planks is one way to spend your holiday and plenty of people certainly do. As simple as skiing is, it is also one expensive sport. Between the equipment, lift passes and bottomless cups of Irish Coffee at the lodge, a ski vacation can set you back quite a few quid, especially if you are finicky about where you stay.

It doesn’t have to be that way with an ever growing number of resorts catering to the more budget conscious ski crowd. One …

Frankfurt is the door to the world

If you are an experienced globe trotter, you probably have spent a smidgeon of time in the Frankfurt, Germany airport. Along with Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle International Airport, it is one of the global hubs of Europe. Walk down the corridors and you’ll find flights departing for just about every corner of the globe and you’ll hear more languages spoken than you would spending a day at the United Nations. Frankfurt is the place to go when you want to go somewhere else.

That isn’t to say that you should …

From the Red Sea to the Dead Sea: Spectacular Egypt and Jordan Journey

A lot of people these days are interesting in going to great lengths just so they can claim that they have been to the highest point on earth. If Mt. Everest isn’t your style, how about aiming for something a little bit lower? It doesn’t get any lower than the Dead Sea, which lays claim to being the lowest point on this spinning sphere that we call earth.

The Dead Sea in and of itself is a destination, but why stop there? Why not take a bit of time to explore …

A Crete Retreat that is Pretty Neat

History takes on a whole different meaning on the Greek island of Crete. The place was at the center of the Minoan civilization, the oldest civilization in Europe, which lasted from approximately 2600-1400 BC. While the island has all the modern amenities that you would expect from a popular tourist destination these days, you can’t escape history on Crete. It is everywhere and that is one of the many reasons the island is one that everyone should visit at least once.

Another reason to head to Crete is the climate. …
