International travel is getting both easier and more affordable if you live in Boston. Logan will soon have the more low-cost trans-Atlantic flights than any other airport in the United States and industry analysts say they expect the growth of low-cost carriers in Boston to continue.
Analysts cite a confluence of global and regional forces that work in our favor, from low oil and fuel prices and Logan’s proximity to Europe to the strength of the economy of Greater Boston, which has ample supply of business travelers and younger flyers interested in seeing the world on the cheap.
For example, discount airline, Thomas Cook, is offering introductory non-stop fares from Boston to Manchester, England for $312 when they start flying to Logan Airport next week, and earlier this month AirBerlin started non-stop flights Boston to Dusseldorf, Germany for $650. Both fares are cheaper than my flight to San Francisco later this month.

I don’t believe those introductory rates are still available, but you are welcome to check their sites to get current fares.

Wow….those are some cheap prices….and Boston is always a good choice and easy destination to access. I have found the cost of travel since AA’s declaration of bankruptcy and reorganization some years ago, has risen and matched by other airlines.
Cheaper prices are always welcomed.

Very much welcomed – and the carriers welcome it too – it provides a US Domestic Gateway that does not require overfueling upon departure as the ATC management (not always duplicated in US Customs) and lots of options.
Even carriers that are not typically considered low cost are serving KBOS with discounted options.
Way to go – and to return and experience the world!!
