If you look on easyjet and ryanair they are quoted sometimes at like 5 euros or something, but they add 30-40 euros in surcharges as well as requiring you to pay X amount per checked bag.

I never had to pay for baggage, but I never had more than one bag. Also, the fares are cheap, the taxes are not as cheap, but the total is still only 25 euros from Berlin to Krakow, for example. 30 euros from Paris to Berlin, 45 euros from Venice to London. All much cheaper than trains. Plus you add a couple euros (2 - 10) to get into the city from the airport. This info is all based on EasyJet, I've never used RyanAir.

I guess I should decide some kind of (flexible) itinerary at some point for my trip to determine which route to go... since I'm sure one could easily spend 10 days in ONE city, let alone 3.

Wow, how long has this been going on? I haven't been back there in about 18 months, or so. That's cheaper than a 1 day car rental in Italy

That's good news for me, usually I fly directly to Rome to visit the wife's relatives in Southern Italy. If they remain that low I'll go to Paris first, then catch a cheap flight on down to Rome. :thumbsup:

Enjoy your trip OP,

I would say go by train, but something like this might happen.

you'll have a lot more fun if you limit your itinerary to fewer places & get to know them a bit.

Walk around, get acquainted with some locals, but them coffee & talk awhile, etc.

Just racing all around always on the move is no fun trust me I live that way
