Continental - Travel Deals

It is infinitely interesting and confusing how the airline industry works. A few months back I couldn’t walk down the street without tripping over a great deal on cheap tickets to Europe. But then the proverbial well ran dry and the prices on flights to the Old Continent soared. Fortunately, I am here to report that the tide has turned again and travelers wishing to explore Europe in the coming months have a reason to jump for joy. Go ahead, jump. No one is watching you.

Now that you have gotten your exercise for the week, let me explain why you should be so happy at this precise moment in time. Continental Airlines has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the airlines by offering flights to Germany from the United States that are so low you might just want to take a job in Frankfurt and commute there by plane every day. I’m talking round-trip airfare from placed like Albany, Austin and Detroit to Germany for less than $400. You might find such prices on flights to London from time to time, but rarely do you see such good prices on tickets to mainland Europe. This offer surely won’t last for long so book soon, book often.

While you have Germany on your mind, do yourself a favor and check out the Germany Travel Guide.

Here’s some good news for those of you who have the white headphones from your iPod permanently attached to your ears. Apple Computers has reached an agreement with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United to allow you to hook your iPod into their in-flight entertainment systems. Instead of watching whatever horrible movie that is being shown on your flight, you can crank up that Paris Hilton sex tape you so adore from your iPod and watch it on the seat-back display in front of you. Now if only iPod’s could cook good food traveling would never be the same!
