If international travel is on your list for next summer, some U.S. airlines are focusing new routes and flights to Europe, said CBS 91欧美激情 Travel Editor Peter Greenberg.
鈥淲hen an airline announces a new route, they do a lot of introductory discount fares,鈥� he said. 鈥淛ump on those. You will see a lot of them happen between now and the end of February.鈥�
