Fly to Hidden France - the Cévennes Mountains

Find cheap airfare to France which receives more visitors than any other country, yet many beautiful spots remain hidden, and few more so than the Cévennes mountains.

For Parisians, the Cévennes is still the place described by the great 19th-century French historian Jules Michelet: "The Cévennes offer rock, nothing but rock, razor-sharp shale. You feel the struggle of man, his stubborn and prodigious labour in the face of nature."

And it is true that everywhere you go in La Vallée Française, you see evidence of this struggle. You see it written on the landscape: in the dry stone walls and the terraces carved out of the steep hillsides; in the beautiful sweet chestnut groves that still march over so many of those terraces.

Airfare to Greece - What does the Greek Economic Crisis Mean to Visitors?

Find cheap flights to Athens, Greece. The Greek economy is in critical condition. Stories about the Greek government's austerity plans–and the strikes to protest it–are headline new in Europe. So what does the Greek economic crisis mean for a visitor to Greece?

The Greek financial situation has helped push down the value of the euro against the dollar, making a visit to Greece, or anywhere in the European Union (EU), relatively less expensive for Americans. An EU bailout of Greece could hurt economic recovery throughout Europe and potentially elsewhere. But for the moment, Greece's economic woes have dampened prices and made the country less expensive for foreign visitors. As long as the crisis remains primarily economic, bargain seeking visitors are likely to consider Greece as a destination in 2010.

Travel to Malaysia Where Hospitality Is Winning Hearts and Minds Amidst Volcanic Ashes

Cheap flights to Malaysia where there have been 16,000 stranded passengers on the waiting list for flights to and from Europe, which may take up to mid-May to clear. What does airport operator Malaysia Airports do with passengers low on cash and long on boredom for days, with nothing to do on end but wait for better news, stranded at the country's premier airport, KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport)?

Malaysia Airports, together with the Tourism Ministry and Kuala Lumpur City Hall jointly lifted spirits by giving them a free day city tour. "We did not have money to go out of KLIA while waiting for our flight, so when the announcement was made, I immediately said yes," said Briton James Richardson.

New Zealander Kent McDonald, who found himself stuck in Kuala Lumpur after arriving from Melbourne, said the opportunity to go on a city tour gave him the chance to release his frustrations. "My mood is better."

Travel to Kyoto, Japan


Are you looking for cheap airfare to Japan? Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan, is a vibrant mash-up, an ancient city electrified by the breathtakingly new. Cruise the futuristic food halls of a department store, gaping at the perfect fruit and glistening sea creatures, before zipping up to the traditional floor, with its kimonos and tea ceremony implements. See 2,000 ancient temples and shrines, then dine at a sleekly modern restaurant. Glimpse a geisha gliding down a cobblestone lane, bracketed by wooden machiya houses, and feel yourself catapulted to the 18th century — until you see her duck into a very 21st-century taxi, with a passenger door that opens and shuts automatically.

Though it’s mobbed by tourists during cherry blossom season (late March to early April), Maruyama Park in Gion is a tranquil spot the rest of the year. Start at the vivid white-and-orange Yasaka Shrine, where locals pray to the god of prosperity and health, and then wend your way through the park past ponds, gardens and a gigantic weeping cherry. Be sure to detour through the surreal hillside cemetery, its terraced maze of gravestones resembling a miniature city. The views are spectacular.
