How much does the average inter-city air ticket in Europe cost?

I'm planning a 3 month trip to Europe and would like to know how much a typical air ticket cost. Not like from Paris to Istanbul, but like, say, London-Paris, Monaco-Milan, Berlin-Hamburg.





I know there is no fixed price cos they differ with the distance and destination, but I want a rough estimate.





My budget is around USD$10K anyway. Do you think that'll last me a rough round trip around Europe for 2-3 months? Any tips?|||Three months in Europe is awesome! As for ways to save money and get around...while I know you're asking about air fare.. it sounds like you want to be flexible and just go when you want. That will of course increase your air ticket price. There are a number of discount airlines that if you book in advance (2 weeks to a month or more) you can get some really amazing deals. Try Ryan Air, Easy Jet, or Sky Europe. Sometimes they offer fares for only 1 Euro and you pay the taxes, but ya gotta book early.





Now for some other hints on how to save some money...one of your biggest expenses will be accomodation. Stay in hostels whenever you can. And if you're a bit more adventurous there is a relatively new site called "couchsurfing.org" where people offer their couches to stay on for free! It's a very interesting concept where you will get a total local experience and get to see places not in most guide books. I know someone who has done it and had nothing but great things to say about it!





Have a great trip!|||A thousand
