Despite the crumbling economy, I deem all expenses designated towards traveling completely appropriate. I recently purchased round-trip tickets to Greece for the end of May, tickets which cost about $450. The notion that this mind-boggling price can actually exist was confirmed after I found $250 tickets to Dublin for the end of June. And then, my friend told me of $700 tickets to Hong Kong. What the hell?? If only these price reductions would last. This recession might be the best time to travel for those seeking a bargain. With people concerned with finances all over the world, demand in traveling is low, therefore prices are low. Major airlines like Continental, American, Lufthansa and Alitalia have slashed their prices on travel from Newark airport in New Jersey to Europe for travel in late March to early April. Recently, round-trip tickets to Arizona and Italy both cost under $400. With the international economy in danger of bankruptcy (ahem, Iceland), the travel industry needs to scrape some profit in, no matter how small. If that means slashing prices, I'm not gonna complain. So, considering this global crisis, I'm going to travel my ass off. I'm off to Greece at the end of May, Ireland, Scotland, England in the end of June and early July, Paris in mid July, and Poland until mid August. Awesome.
