Looking to travel this summer and flexible about where you want to go? Then you might want to take advantage of the fact that airline prices are at a historic low, thanks in part to the rise of discount airlines that have forced longstanding airlines to create more competitive pricing (Icelandic-based WOW air, for example, can get you from New York to London for as little as $260 this July).
If you don’t want to deal with the hassle and hidden fares of budget airlines, however, Kayak has analyzed internal data for flights from New York between May 1, 2017 and September 4, 2017, and discovered the following:
Zurich: Flight prices are down 47 percent. Nonstop flights start at $845 in July.
