These Cheap Airports Make It Easy to Explore Europe for Less
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Netherlands
Amsterdam consistently makes the list of cheapest places to fly into in Europe. As Europe’s fourth busiest airport and the hub of KLM Airlines, there are non-stop connections to intercontinental destinations to be had for rock bottom prices.
Fares in 2017 dipped even lower than in 2016, with an average of around $800 for flights across the Atlantic.
Copenhagen Airport, Denmark
With its colorful buildings and reputation for outstanding cuisine, you hardly need an excuse to fly into Copenhagen. Christmas in Copenhagen is a must-experience too, if you’re planning a trip over the holidays. The low cost of getting there is just another reason to add it to your must-visit list.
A return flight to New York, Chicago or Toronto costs around $700 per person.
As well as being a hub for Scandinavian Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia and Norwegian Air Shuttle also operate out of Copenhagen, making this the perfect gateway to the other Nordic countries.
You may have heard the acronym before, but what is WWOOFing all about? Simply put, it's a great way to travel the world on a budget!
Frankfurt Airport, Germany
As the third busiest airport in Europe, Frankfurt is one of the most convenient to fly into. There are even more flights in and out of this airport than Berlin — there are connections from here to everywhere and it is surprisingly cheap to fly into.
Frankfurt is home to Lufthansa, whose flights cover the world. Trans-Atlantic flights average $900 so it’s a great place to enter Europe.
While there are plenty of things to do in Frankfurt, it’s not a major tourist hub, so you may want to take advantage of the onward flight connections and skip town to somewhere higher on your bucket list.
