A question for the travel agents (or anyone who knows about airfares).

I just looked at fares for Paris, Rome and Geneva on the same dates. The fares to Paris were about $500 cheaper than the flights to Rome.
Is this normal? Are flights to Paris usually cheaper than flights to Rome or was it just the date?

Is there any city in Europe that is consistently cheaper than the others?

DH and I are looking into a holiday in Europe and we're not really fussy about which city we land in other than not London because we need to hire a car and driving an English car on the continent is a PITA.

Hi Onyx,

Im a Travel Agent.

Generally speaking all of the main European cities should be the same fare price, however the taxes will vary. Rome is the cheapest taxes of anywhere in Europe which is why it is always cheapest to fly in there, London is always the most expensive. Hwever $500 does seem a bit extreme, do you mind me asking which airline it is with?

The cheapest return fare was Korean Air traveling to Paris and Virgin and Etihad both had fares for about $200 more to Paris.
