I have been scouring the net for cheap flights across the Atlantic — and in particular to Guatemala. Our friends Ana and Nate are getting married this summer in Guatemala and we are planning to be there. In monitoring the prices of flights from London the Guatemala, the prices have been surprisingly constant — expensive.
This week, I read in the paper about a low-cost trans-Atlantic airline, called Zoom Airlines, that is offering service between for London and New York for only £129 one way. By the time you double it for round trip, double it again to convert to dollars, and double it again for two people, the price starts to look more like that of an airfare. But it is still, by far the cheapest fare I have seen across the Atlantic and is about a third of the price of the fares to Guatemala. Perhaps now I can find a cheap flight from New York to Guatemala.
If you are planning a trip to Europe and are looking for a cheap flight, this is certainly worth a look.
