Keeping currently with the theme finding cheap flights to Europe, here is one of the final easy tips that you are able to capitalize on for your trip. Which city is the cheapest to fly out of, and which city is the cheapest to fly to in Europe. Below is where I show you the results found from our study.
Data Gathering
Data was gathered by looking at seven major cities in the United States that try to encompass the geographical area of the United States and then comparing them to ten major European destinations. The prices found were based on the following criteria from Kayak.com:
*One-way trip price averaged for every day (Sunday -> Saturday) for the following days May 17th – May 23rd and September 20th – September 26th.
one-way trip was chosen to remove the variability of return day and length of stay. For a round trip, price would roughly be double on average. Also, weekend flights are much more expensive than weekday flights, this is to an approximate feel on the average cost of the flights.
Results
Below shows the data for which city in the U.S. you should fly from to reach your desired destination.
The same data is then again plotted for the cheapest European city than can be reached from your outbound U.S. city.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, New York tends to be the cheapest city to fly outbound from, and unfortunately if you don’t live there, it is variable which city you should fly to. As in regards to traveling to Europe, not surprising the farther west cities are cheaper, but one that is surprising is the high price of Madrid.
