"When you say troll the discount airfare websites, would you recommend signing up for their newsletters or did you actually have something else in mind. Also can you recommend any sites? Sorry for the dumb-ish question - Im a total newbie at this whole home swap thing, but Im very interested, and also very low on funds for a vacation. thanks!!"
I did not specify any sites because this is a non-commercial blog with no links to any travel business. However, I will share my personal airfare secrets with you, my fellow home exchangers.
Let's start with the most challenging destination for the American dollar, Europe.
There are two European carriers I always check for cheap intra-Europe flights, RyanAir and EasyJet.
Despite financial pressures on airlines from today's fuel prices, RyanAir continues to offer some tickets on each flight for as little as one pence (about two cents). EasyJet has similar deals.
On both of these airlines, prices start low and go up, sometimes precipitously, as the travel date approaches.
Where they also make their money is steep fees for everything except air: bag check, food, soft drinks: nothing is free except your seat.
So stuff that carry-on bag and keep your eyes on the discount carriers. You could find yourself jetting off to a 2-cent vacation swap.
