DCL 201: Episode 2, Booking Airfare for our 2020 Summer Cruise
In Episode 2 of our 201 series, we continue to look at how we are planning for our 2020 Summer cruise from Civitavecchia, Italy. In this Episode, Ahnawake and I discuss the airfare strategies we used to book our tickets to and from Europe. There are many ways to book airfare, and we are definitely not perfect, but we wanted to pass on how we go about booking airfare to and from Europe. We hope this series will help you when planning your next vacation. If you have any questions in regard to this episode, or others, please reach out to Steve via:
