DEPARTURES:  NORTHWEST ARKANSAS (XNA).  Members have gotten cheap Europe flights to Dublin from Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Texas that would also work with this technique.

DESTINATIONS:   XNA - Dublin, Ireland - Glasgow, Scotland - Paris, France - Barcelona, Spain - Milan, Italy - Paris, France - Dublin - back to Northwest Arkansas!  

DATES:  It's workable from October - March.  Example is OCT 25 - NOV 8 dates

AIRLINES:  United, Delta, Ryanair

NOTES:     This would be a high energy itinerary - but doable and fun!   3 or 4 nights in most cities gives you time to actually see some stuff.  Milan is just 2 nights - but getting to and from the airport is really simple in Milan - so it works. 

We got good feedback on the one we posted from Dallas last week - but had a few requests for something out of Northwest Arkansas.   Here you go!

With all the Ireland fare alerts - it would be really simple to put something like this together from other departures.  You might even be able to just plug in different departure on the first flight link.

We wanted to show you how much fun you can have with those cheap European nonstop flights, if you start with a cheap flight from here to somewhere in Europe!

The flights posted are all with Ryanair (although there are similar options from Wizzair in many cities).

We used Oct 24 - Nov 8 as our 2 week sample dates, but you can move that around pretty well as needed.  Those Europe city to city one way flights are really cheap no matter what dates you need.

Using google flights like we did - there are hundreds of options for you.  We just picked some fun places with cheap flights to show you what can be done.  Links to each flight provided below.

You can book this exact trip if you want to - just click on the links and book away!  But we would recommend customizing to your own bucket list of destinations!

All fares were valid when email info. was compiled (a few minutes ago).  They change constantly.   All those Europe flights are nonstop and around 1 to 2 hours each.   Have fun.
