Thread: Europe Spring 2015

What destinations are you interested in traveling to ?

While code share flights do present problems -ZED fares can be a work around.
Remember flying is not the ONLY was to get around in Europe.
Railroads can work to your advantage for short distances between countries.
Compare the costs and hassle of air travel against ground transport.

Re: Travel to Israel beware do not have any connections or plans of travel thru
countries that have issues with Israel !

Re: Best entry/exit points - Amsterdam (AMS) is perhaps the best with more
flights with Delta metal and KLM to more USA destinations. London would in my
opinion be next best especially with new alliance with Virgin Atlantic. Regarding
Paris (CDG) I would avoid that until a last resort situation - reason in reading
some of the aviation forums AF is not quite a user friendly code share partner.
Don't overlook Rome (FCO) Madrid (MAD) and Frankfurt (FRA) for ZED opportunities
as well as smaller cities.

HINT: While on a Delta flight take the Delta SKY MAGAZINE out of the seat pocket
and take it with you. Look in the back of the magazine for Delta and code share
partners routings. Look up the websites of the ZED participants to see what clicks
with your travel plans ! Learn how to use these websites to possibly determine the
availability of space - easy on Delta with both Delta.com and TravelNet and not an
exact science on the code share partners and ZED participants.

Good Luck and PLAN well with alternatives - Spring is a good time for travel also
plan carefully around the holidays of the USA and the foreign countries you will visit !
