Internship Argentina - Video 1

The "On-Time" Airline

Hey guys, anyone thinking about participating on our Teach Spain program? You might want to look into purchasing a flight to London and then flying from London to Madrid? Or perhaps already in Spain and looking for a cheap, quick way to get around Europe. RyanAir.com is a great resource when looking for last minute flights! Our friends at vagabondish.com posted an excellent, sarcastic article called: A Tribute to RyanAir: Decoding the Perfect Business Plan. Check it out here: http://www.vagabondish.com/ryanair-budget-airline-tribute/

They may conclude that you'll end up spending more money and time if you use RyanAir - however, we tend to disagree! The key is be sure to research where the airport is you are flying into before buying your ticket. (It may well be an hour outside the center of town). But isn't that typical of most airports in big cities anyways? The other thing to keep in mind, is get all the details right when purchasing the ticket - don't try and change the name or the date on the ticket. Heck, you only lost $50 if you can't use the ticket. For great priced flights around Europe, check it out! Safe travels.
