Hi! Need some help! Going to Europe for the first time! Going London, paris, Rome and last stop Barcelona... Would you recommend flying to each place or to take euro train? When is the best time to start booking flights for Edmonton to London to kick off our trip? Thanks!

Going in May

Cheapest flights from Edmonton to London are from May-Sept via www.canadianaffair.ca

^^ Looks like March, May, and August are when the craziest deals to London have popped up in the past.

Awesome!! Thanks!!!

go flight first going there, it seem in Airtransat usually the cheapest way to fly, then use Euro train...but if you tight in time, flying between country in Europe is cheap too.

Not sure the best way to get around but what a great trip! The market in Barcelona is fantastic and there is a great market in Rome

Wow these are great! Thank you! I am sooo psyched to go! I'll look into euro rail and flight prices... Going to go for 3 weeks but don't have an itinerary as to how long I'm staying in each place!

The rule of thumb used to be, if the train ride was 3 hours or less, take the train. If it's more than 3 hours, fly. Some use a guideline of 5 hours though in more recent years (more airport delays, etc).

fly with raynair. com or easyjet. com if you are booking well in advance it is by far the cheapest way to go. they usually fly out of smaller airports. also, taking a bus from london-paris is pretty cheap, but will take longer than train or flying.

train when you can its a way to relax and see the countryside in Italy.I hope you have a lot to time to give to these places. there is soooo much to see and do

I like to recommend the train simply for environmental reasons. But also because - I think - it makes you appreciate the true distance and cultural differences between the vastly different places you'll be visiting! Flying is often a cheaper way to go fare-wise but ALWAYS a huge hassle. And more expensive in the end when you take into account stuff like - getting to the airport, eating throughout the flying process, crazy taxes, getting into town... Ugh. Lol
