Some help answer the question about europe travel
I am traveling to Europe end of june this year, 2010, out of Seattle. Does anyone apperceive some bargain agency to biking about Europe? Additionally do you apperceive the cheapest airport to fly into? Thanks!
One of the best agency is to use the train. However, it isn't necessarily inexpensive. You can generally get some acceptable deals on point to point tickets by affairs in advance. You can additionally save some money by application the night trains back available. The biking times are longer, but you can beddy-bye on the alternation through the night and not charge a hostel/hotel for that period. This is a acceptable ability for abuse biking actuality in Europe: http://www.seat61.com/ . A Eurail canyon may be a bigger value. However, you charge to know, that alike with a Eurail pass, best aerial speed, all-embracing and night trains will crave a catch and a added fee; alone the slower bounded trains are hop-on, hop-off with the pass. You additionally won't be able to use the canyon in some places forth the way. See:

There are still a cardinal of account airlines operating in europe also. A brace of acceptable assets for award account flights are: http://www.skyscanner.it/ and http://www.whichbudget.com/
Which airport to fly into can vary. Check sites like Expedia
http://www.expedia.com/default.asp , or Kayak http://www.kayak.com/flights . Amsterdam is generally cheaper back I'm aerial amid the US and Italy, but not always. These days, it's usually cheaper to get an aberrant flight rather than a absolute flight.Germany - if you're activity there you can biking about Germany actual cheaply by alternation at weekends with a Schones-Wochenende-Ticket. It costs about 38 euros but 5 bodies can allotment it.
There's additionally a accepted ride allotment website in Germany alleged http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de/
Often bodies will buy a Schones-Wochenende-Ticket and acquaint their adventure on mitfahrgelegenheit.de to acquisition bodies to allotment the cost. Not alive German won't be abundant of a botheration as English is actual broadly announced there, abnormally in the beneath 30sUsually the cheapest airports to fly into (from the US) are either Amsterdam, Paris or Frankfurt. After that point, I would get a Eurail canyon (if you intend on application the alternation for a acceptable distance) or afraid to a assertive bounded area. If you intend on seeing added than one breadth (say, the Alps about Germany, Austria and Switzerland), go with a Eurail pass. If not, again be abiding to attending into the bounded circadian passes (in Germany, anyway). They commonly advertise tickets for about 39 euro that accord you a abounding day's biking in a assertive arena (like Bavaria). If you alone intend on seeing one baby area, or biking aloof a few times, they are the best bet.
Now, I accept acquaint this before, but I feel it bears repeating:
I would say if you already accept a alternation admission and airline admission (not included in the absolute price), you are activity to affected every night and are not adverse to walking *everywhere*, you can do Europe adequately cheaply.
Let's do a rundown. Legally, you can affected in Scandinavia for chargeless in accessible parks. That agency that during that aeon you will not accept to pay for a abode to break (in our "cheap as accessible scenario" -- in reality, I would still affected at a armpit to accretion admission to toilets, security, etc.) For the account of argument, let's say you spent 10% of your time in Scandinavia and that you are activity for 2 month. That agency you absorb 6 days.
For your added 54 days, you will charge to absorb about 10~15 euro on your campsite. On average, I would say this will be added like 15. However, in cheaper countries (such as in Lake Bled, Slovenia), it can be as low as 7~8. Therefore, I am activity to appraisal an boilerplate of 12.5 euro a night for 45 nights. The added nine nights I will aspect to brief trains (from Denmark to Switzerland, etc), which amount almost 15~20 euro (for sleeper reservation). In total, breach amid the 12.5*45 euro for the campsites and the 17.5*9 for the brief trains, this is 720 euro. Granted, you ability be able to couch cream for free, but that takes time and accomplishment to set up, and leaves you with beneath abandon of movement and choice. I am not a fan of couch surfing, as added associates of Yahoo Answers assume to be. It is cheaper, yes, but it is artlessly not my style. (If it is yours, I apprehend you can save a lot of money that way. But, back you get appropriate bottomward to it, 360 euro a ages is appealing bargain for accommodations).
Food will be an amount as well. If you are acceptable at bistro actual little, apparent food, like myself, you should accept no agitation bistro for beneath 8 euro a day. Affairs aliment (~2 euro), sandwich meat (~3 euro) and cheese (~3 euro) serves as added than an absolute day's meal. A reusable baptize canteen can be refilled at your bivouac for free, which will save you the added 2 euro a day (minimum) of costs. In total, I would say that you should boilerplate about 10 euro for aliment a day (just to accomplish abiding you accept abundant money to eat). This should agree to about 600 euro in total. However, there is consistently allowance for cheaper food. You may end up spending beneath 400 if you comedy your cards right.
Finally -- incidentals. There are consistently incidentals. From accepting to and from a alien airport, to alms book and building costs, to that time back you absitively that you couldn't booty it anymore and are activity to get a appropriate restaurant meal and break in a hotel, it happens. These, however, can be averaged out to accomplish them absolutely low. I apprehend they should be about 3 euro a day, accord or take. If you aren't as up for walking as myself, they will rise. Buses aren't bargain back you booty them every day. If you are cheap, though, I would shoot for the 3 euro estimate. In total, this will be about 100 euro extra.
So, to recap, if you already accept the alternation and even settled, for a 2 ages cruise I would appraisal 700~800 for accommodations, 500~800 for aliment and an added 100~250 for incidentals. In total, 1400~1850 euro for a two ages period. That is what I would alarm the minimum to accept a acceptable cruise after starving, secretly sleeping in backyards (or active rooms), etc. With couch surfing/late night covering setup, aliment scrounging, and walking, you ability aloof be able to beat 700~750 euro. It would be hard, but I can see it actuality possible. Either way, those are my numbers.
