The phenomenal success of budget airlines like Easyjet, Go and Ryanair has completely revolutionised the travel industry: fares of less than #30 have become commonplace. Between them, the no-frills airlines now carry a staggering 23 million passengers a year to destinations all over Europe, and it's predicted that the market will continue to grow over the next few years. Tourists can choose from a dazzling array of potential holiday destinations - many of which they may know next to nothing about. Fly Europe is a practical, easy-to-use guidebook that provides information on the 80-plus budget airline destinations, all in one volume. Many of the cities the budget airlines fly to are not traditional tourist destinations and are therefore not covered by individual city guidebooks; equally, tourists may not need or want a full-length, overly detailed city guidebook just for a short break. This book aims to help readers make an informed choice about the best destination to choose; then, once that choice is made and the flights are booked, they will have at their fingertips short-break information on that city. In the introduction, the author outlines what the various budget airlines have to offer and considers the pros and cons of each company. She employs a star ratings system to show which cities are best for sightseeing, shopping, nightlife, restaurants, the arts, romance and family activities. Then, each city section provides details on transport to and around the city, what to see there and why, accommodation (from budget to luxury hotels), eating out, nightlife and shopping, along with a useful map of the city centre.
