Flights and hotel costs are down in many parts of Europe, with prices in some locations lower than they were before the pandemic.
According to the analysis, price drops occurred in flights originating from almost every major American city too. One exception was Boston, where airfare rose by 1.8% to $685 per ticket. Still, that makes Boston the second-cheapest U.S. city from which to fly to Europe. Only New York is less expensive, with average airfares to Europe this year costing $636 per ticket.
In April, the company highlighted Madrid and Copenhagen as places with attractive hotel rates for August vacations. Except for Nice, cities in Italy and France are absent from this list. Rates in both countries were up 25% this summer, according to Hotels.com, which singled out Saint-Tropez along the French Riviera as one of the season's most expensive getaway destinations in Europe.Conventional wisdom holds that domestic travel is more economical than international travel. But that hasn't been the case for two years in a row, according to the travel insurance comparison engine Squaremouth.
But that doesn't hold true for all spots. Of the most popular travel destinations this year, travelers are spending the most to go to Greece, followed by Italy and France, according to the company.The average cost to go to Greece this year is around $7,600, according to Squaremouth's review of thousands of travel insurance policies purchased from January to mid-June.$204 in Ionian Islands and $162 in Crete, according to travel booking website Holidu.
