Fly direct to London, Prague, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam & more with Italian operators such as Meridiana and Windjet. Or book at bargain prices to Kosovo, Moscow & Moldova.

One common mistake that travellers often make whilst looking for cheap flights within Europe is to only look at the bigger, more famous budget airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. Often such airlines will have the cheapest fares and best bargains, but sometimes lesser known companies can offer better prices, more convenient flight times and routes that are not available with some of the bigger operators. For example, did you know that you can fly direct from Verona (Italy) to Pristina (Kosovo) and Chisinau (Moldova), amongst other places in Eastern Europe?

Often these airlines are not based in the UK, as many of the bigger cheap flight deal merchants are – many of Europe’s bigger countries have their own budget airlines. These include Meridiana and Windjet in Italy
