Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 — Despite the fact that summer has traditionally been the busiest and most expensive time of the year to travel to Europe, trans Atlantic airfares this year between April and June are expected to reach an unprecedented low. Vayama.com a site dedicated exclusively to international travel, helps North Americans find the best fares and most schedule options for air travel to Europe.

“Faced with a falling demand for air travel due to the struggling economy, and many new and untested nonstop flights in operation, airlines are forced to consolidate and cancel flights in order to reduce excess capacity,” says Andre Hesselink vayama.com CEO. “Because the declining demand has been more rapid than the airline's capability to cut flights, fares to Europe in early summer this year will be between 20 to 40 percent lower than they were last year.”

Because the declining demand has been more rapid than the airline's capability to cut flights, fares to Europe in early summer this year will be between 20 to 40 percent lower than they were last year.

To take advantage of these extreme savings, Hesselink suggests travelers book flights. within a particular time frame. The trick is to book early, but not too early as the “lowest” fares depend on when travelers purchase them. Currently the best time to book flights to Europe is mid-April to mid-June (from 45 days up to 3 months in advance.)

Traveling to Europe in July and August is still relatively expensive right now. For example, from Los Angeles to Paris. in August, the lowest fare costs $1,014.00. If travelers book that same route and airline for travel in May, they only pay for a $612.00 flight (including taxes and fees) - a $400 difference!

Likewise, for the same route and airline in the first half of June, fares are currently priced at $860.00 (including taxes and fees.) Traveling in the second half of June would cost over $1,040.00 for the same route and airline.

Below are additional examples of current airfare from vayama.com for travel in upcoming months.

Generally, for trans Atlantic flights to Europe, travelers should book 50 - 60 days in advance (no more than 90 days in advance.) Booking any sooner, for example, within 14 days, could result in significantly higher fares.

Fares that result in airlines' airfare wars are only valid for one month stays, so it's important that travelers book a stay of 30 days or less. For trips longer than one month, travelers need to book a consolidator flight, which is cheaper than going directly through the airlines. Consolidator flights are available on vayama.com and offered for stays up to six months.
