With the American dollar dropping faster than Paris Hilton's panties on a Friday night, Europeans looking to save some euros on flights within Europe should look to American travel sites for savings says the Telegraph UK:

The price quoted earlier this week for a return British Airways flight from London to Athens for travel over the first weekend in July on its website (www.ba.com) was £252, including all taxes. Identical flights on BA through Travelocity.com were quoted at $402 (£200.58) - a saving of more than £50. The same flights on Cheaptickets.com would have cost marginally more at $403 (£201.07). For a family of four this represents potential savings of more than £200.  Those preferring to fly with Olympic Airlines could have made savings of up to £40 per person on flights on the same days by booking through the US-based websites. Our investigation also revealed savings of up to £40 and £20 respectively for flights to Nice and Barcelona over the same days. A spokesman for the Air Transport Users Council (AUC) warned passengers to check that US-based websites accept credit cards registered to British addresses. He added that British travellers could also potentially save money by booking flights through websites based on the Continent.

So there you have it, the US is good at something besides bad movies and ill advised military invasions.
