Scandinavian Airlines - Travel Deals

Close your eyes and think about Sweden. What do you see? Do you see meatballs? Do you have visions of IKEA? Do you picture a safe and reliable Volvo? Do you think about the Swedish bikini team?

Ok, snap out of it. Put those bikini team dreams aside until a later time because you need to focus on what is really important. What is really important is that Scandinavian Airlines has a fantastic offer on flights to Stockholm, Sweden this summer.

Is there a more lovely capital in the world than Stockholm when the sun is shining and the weather is warm? Its harbor is an absolute joy to stroll around on a summer day. Its many sights are even more beautiful this time of year. Its warm and friendly people are even more warm and friendly when the sun stays out well into the night.

As is often the case, there are all kinds of rules and regulations involved with the SAS tickets, the chief ones being that you have to fly out of Newark and you must travel between June 5 and June 31, 2007. You may now go back to dreaming about IKEA or bikini teams, whichever floats your boat more.

There is a reason that Copenhagen is consistently named as one of the best cities to live in: it rocks. The city is super clean, super safe, super friendly and, well, just all around super. All of the charms that are so appealing to those who live there are also fully on display to travelers paying a visit to Denmark’s capital.

Situated on the eastern shore of the island of Zealand and partly on the island of Amage, Copenhagen was founded as a city for merchant ships. With the early trading, it quickly established itself as a cosmopolitan place that drew upon a wide variety of cultures. That legacy still exists today as you walk down some of its narrow side streets and along the beautiful harbor front. With the construction of the Øresund Bridge, which connects Copenhagen with Malmo, Sweden, the city is now a gateway to Scandinavia.

Flights to Copenhagen are often more expensive than they are to Stockholm or Oslo, but at the moment you can fly there for considerably less than many parts of Europe. Priceline has a deal where you can fly from New York to Copenhagen for less than $450 if you travel before March 21, 2007.

Even in the cold months of winter when the sun is just a fleeting object in the sky, everyone loves Copenhagen. You will too.

Mark Twain famously once quipped that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco. Mr. Twain must not have gone to Moscow in February.

There is no denying that the Russian capital is a cold, dark and cold place during the winter months. If you aren’t careful, you’re spit will freeze in midair and you’ll spend most of your time walking around with an icicle hanging from your mouth. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, there is nothing attractive about frozen snot.

There is something attractive about Moscow, regardless of the time of year. The place is booming with new money and new ideas changing some sections of the city overnight. There is still plenty of grime and crime to make one feel nostalgic for the old days, but after you drop a few hundred dollars at one of the fancy new nightclubs you’ll think that you are in New York. Only you won’t be able to feel your toes while you wait for a cab.

Scandinavian Airlines is the place to go for the best deals on flights to Moscow this winter. Who knows, maybe you’ll fall in love with the place and want to stay for awhile and teach English abroad.
