The cheapest flights are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and flights are in November.

As an alternative, you can fly with KLM Airlines, which offers flights at $608. Their flights have a single layover and can last about twice as long.

Delta also offers direct flights to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris for $585.

If I had to choose between Delta and Air France, I’d choose Air France every time.

This could be one of the best times to fly to any of these cities, as these are some of the cheapest flights I’ve seen in a while. Especially to Vancouver and Quebec. Two of my favorite Canadian cities.

Flight Restrictions:

- Purchase by July 5, 2009.
- A 14 day advance purchase is required.

Here are the roundtrip flight prices from Dulles, not including taxes, which can be another 20 dollars or so:

* Montreal … $191
* Halifax … $196
* Ottawa … $267
* Calgary … $281
* Vancouver … $299
* Toronto … $300

Flight Restrictions:

Flight price really depends on which day you can fly. I found this flight for leaving on Wednesday, May 27th, and flying back on either June 2nd (Tuesday) or June 4th (Thursday).

Flight time is between 11 and 14 hours each way.

Aloha!

I’m not the biggest fan of AirTran, but for 50 bucks each way, I’ll tuck myself into a window seat and stare at the back of the seat in front of my for 45 minutes.

Virgin also flies between DC and Boston, so you could check for flights from them as well.

Weather in Boston gets particularly nice around late May until early July, before it gets too humid, and this can be the perfect time to catch a ferry or ride to anywhere along Cape Cod, Newport Rhode Island, or southern New Hampshire.

Flight Details:

This is the standard price for this flight. So, you may need to book a few weeks in advance, but cost should stay at under $220 regardless of the day you fly.

Frankfurt is also a great jump off point to other European cities, as it has a very active train station with many trains going to all major and minor European cities.

Flight Details:

Flights are non-stop on United. I also found some cheap flights with American Airlines and Lufthansa, but $520 is for the United flight.

Flight time is 7-8 hours for non-stop flights.

Initially, try doing a fare search for flying May 20 to May 27th (yup, its coming up)

Things to See in Paris:

In addition to being a gateway into the rest of France and Western Europe, try visiting any of the following in Paris: The Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Basilique de St Denis, Ballon Eutelsat, Champ-Elysee Avenue, Cabinet des Médailles et Monnaies, and the Catacombes de Paris - just to name a few of the hundreds of attractions that many tourists flock to in Paris every summer.

The Hulk Ride at Universal Studios, Orlando

Flight Details:

Need to book soon. Fly on Wednesdays, for the cheapest airfare.

Looks like Airfare is offering similarly priced flights later in May as well. I’ve also found some comparably cheap flights on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Try doing searches on a travel search engine like Sidestep.

Things to do in Orlando:

Orlando has the most rollercoasters per capita in the United States. That’s quite a few rollercoasters. My suggestion would be to head to the Universal Studios first, home to the Hulk Rollercoaster ride (pictures), then make a few days for Disney World and Paradise Island.

Flight Details:

Must book before May 21. Must fly after April 30th.

Expect some airfare and government imposed taxes, which could be around a hundred bucks more.

Things to Do in Cape Town:

A natural stop for most people that visit South Africa, Cape Town is situated at the southermost point in Africa, right next to the Cape of Good Hope. Many people come here for the surfing, but there is also plenty of small hikes, such as Table Mountain, plus South African vineyards, and nearby safari tours.
