After a globe-trotting whirlwind romance, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni got hitched in Paris this weekend. And though they spent their wedding night at the Palace of Versailles, they could do much better to keep up their Super World Traveler status.
Ryanair, the airline the couple sued over a witty ad, has lots of departures from Paris. What better way to put a ridiculous lawsuit to rest than snagging a super-cheap seat on the low cost carrier?
Flights leave Paris Beauvais airport--which is about 50 miles north of the city--for Stockholm, Rome, Dublin and Valencia among other spots. Sarko hardly seems like the romantic type, but what bride wouldn't love a trip to Venice? And if the duo isn't ready to put the feud with Ryanair behind them, no worries: Beauvais is also served by Wizz Air and Centralwings.

We've long admired Central European LCC Wizz Air for their unashamed use of pink in their corporate colors and website, but now we're going to pull them up for their extremely poor puns. Would you buy a ticket from London to somewhere in Poland on the strength of this:
You can do a loty with your zloty.
Assuming you even know that zloty is the Polish currency, you're surely only going to groan rather than book a flight from various UK airports to Krakow, Warsaw or Gdansk even at the very reasonable price of £19.99 ($30), all taxes and charges included. (We love the European LCCs new wave of truth-in-advertising.)
Poor puns aside, Wizz Air has been busy of late, opening a new base in Poznan, Poland and expanding services from Bucharest and the Transylvanian city of Tirgu Mures. The airline also proudly announced that it offers the most routes of any carrier between Poland and Scandinavia, which is fantastic, because we're always scratching our heads about how to fly from Poland to Scandinavia.
