Earlybird savers Europe June 2014

[kinkacruiser]

When can we expect to see some special for 2014 Euro summer? We want to fly or June 24 return July 26. What offers are likely to appear in business class? Which airlines offer the best deals? I have subscribed to special offer emails with the better airlines.

Have no idea about specific dates although I have noticed that there are international deals to be had which are usually advertised after Feb and prior to Easter.
My guess is that money has been spent on Xmas presents and holidays, school fees, rates etc. and people are gearing up for the Easter break so there is not a lot being spent on booking ahead prior and after Easter.
With Qatar airlines and other carriers whose clients may celebrate Ramadan, there is always a lull in seating capacity in the month prior as everyone gears up for the special celebrations at that time. I went business class to Europe and back in June this year from BKK and there were plenty of empty seats. The flight attendant told me that they are usually full but preparations for Ramadan were in full swing and people were not travelling as much.

I went Y to BKK with Royal Brunei and the whole airfare cost me AUD 3700. I stayed over a few days in BKK each way. Some people go Singapore with Y and then onto Europe in J. I loved the Dreamliner - great flying experience. JoyV

The discount fares for next Summer in Europe are usually released in October every year. Early bird fares usually finish by November 30 each year. Check from October.

For the best value out of your fare consider an open jaw - fly into one European destination and home from another with the same airline. The fare is usually nearly identical to flying return from one city. Airlines that
have multiple European ports offer these fares with numerous options. Also consider flying a European Airline that gives you a free stopover in their home city eg Finnair or KLM for example.
