Great Airfare to Europe
I’ve been keeping an eye on airfare to Europe for several years and lately it seems good fares are a lot easier to come by. I remember scoring a fare of $504 from Halifax to Copenhagen and out of Stockholm on Icelandair in 2008. A few years later a fare of $549 to Glasgow appeared for a short while and we nabbed it.
