cheap

It's only a dime from Milan to London.

Many people are still wondering how $3,000 can cover more than 20 cities in 8 countries on 5 continents. Is it ok or not? The reporter consulted relevant travel agencies yesterday. A travel agency said that if you travel to Europe and America alone, you need at least 50,000 RMB per person. According to the itinerary and number of people arranged by Zhu, the travel agency said that "the total cost of 13 people is less than 1 10,000 yuan, so I dare not accept it".

Zhu said that $3,000 air tickets and accommodation during the trip were enough. "Each of us only needs a ticket equivalent to 65,438 yuan +0 cents to fly from Milan to London. Of course, other expenses, such as tickets for scenic spots, will be counted separately. " "A dime for a plane ticket may not be believed by many people, but it is a very common phenomenon in Europe." An industry insider introduced. According to him, the price difference between planes in Europe is very large one day. "Even the price difference between the same flights is very large. Maybe you spent hundreds of euros on the ticket, but the person next to you only spent 1 euro cents. "

How to buy cheap air tickets? The insider said that this kind of information can be found on foreign websites, but it needs to be booked in advance.

Booking a plane ticket is the same as staying in a hotel. Zhu once stayed in a hotel that paid back the money: in Las Vegas, because there were many people who came to gamble, the hotel itself was basically not profitable, but made profits through customers' gambling. Zhu spent more than 30 yuan, not only stayed in a hotel, but also ate a French dinner, but did not participate in gambling. After all, the hotel paid back the money.

It is reported that everyone on this trip needs to pay 3999 yuan as a membership fee, which is equivalent to the fee of Zhu, the leader of this trip.

Can this extraordinary trip be successfully completed? This newspaper will continue to pay attention.
