European Airlines Play Santa

December 7, 2007 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments

'Tis the season to do tacky Christmas marketing, and European budget airlines are not immune. Many of them are advertising special deals and calling them Christmas presents, whether you buy 'em for yourself or a loved one, the airlines don't care.

Italian budget airline MyAir, for example, has decided on a two-for-one offer as its seasonal gift to consumers. If you book before December 10 for flights between January 8 and January 31, you'll be able to buy two tickets for the price of one, though you'll both have to pay the airport taxes.

But it's not just the real low cost carriers that are serving up some good deals at the moment. Huge German airline Lufthansa has surprised us in the past with impressively cheap deals, and they're doing it again at the moment. They're offering flights between Germany cities and places like Paris, Milan or Prague for €99 ($145)--and this price is for a round-trip flight, and includes all taxes and charges. Of course there are not many seats available at that price (and by the time you read this, they might be all gone), but it does pay to remind us that even "normal" airlines in Europe have good deals sometimes. The spirit of giving, perhaps?
