We Found Roundtrip Flights From Florida To Europe Starting At $284

If you're looking to get far away from the Florida September storms, I've found something for you. Europe. An airline that flies out of Fort Lauderdale has September and October roundtrip flights that we found for as low as $284. The last time I flew to Ohio it was more than $284. So this is something to look in to.

The website Thrillist tipped me on to Norse Atlantic Airways. They fly out of select airports and one of them happens to be just down the road at Fort Lauderdale. Since a lot of people are planning summer vacations, you can find cheaper rates in the fall.

You you can find trips like Fort Lauderdale to Oslo, Norway starting at $284. Or Fort Lauderdale to London starting at $344.

Here's the link to Norse Atlantic Airways. I don't know much about them so do your research on baggage fees and other stuff. One thing I definitely like, if you're flexible on dates, is the website shows you other dates when you can fly cheaper. Alternate dates on roundtrip flights can save you a bunch. Seeing as how it's only March, you can arrange your September schedule around when the flights are discounted. Just keep in mind when flying discount to Europe. It's a long flight and sitting in economy for that long is NOT going to be comfortable. But if you're looking to save money, this is the way.

If you're looking for a taste of Europe without leaving the county, maybe checking out one of these towns is the move. 

Florida has some beautiful areas, and as it turns out, some of those areas feel a lot like Europe. I’ve actually never been to Europe, but the folks who have are letting the world know which Florida – and American – areas feel like they’re straight out of Europe. If you’re like me and have never been to countries such as France, Germany and Italy, then perhaps visiting these American cities will be the next closest thing.

The publication HouseBeautiful.com has released a special list of American towns that feel the most like Europe. They mention that traveling to these areas, of course, is less pricey than getting on a plane and jetting overseas. “Before you shell out hundreds (or, most likely, thousands) of dollars traveling across the ocean, you may want to look closer to home: There are plenty of cities in the United States that look just like those quaint, historic destinations in Europe,” the publication states. “You’re going to want to go to all of them, so start saving now!”

So, what are some characteristics of a European town? For starters, they often have cobblestone streets, lots of history and an Old World feel. European towns can be very romantic, too, so this list of American towns that mirror European ones could be a good list for a romantic getaway. So, which Florida cities actually made this list? Read on to find out. I've always included some other southern towns you may like.
