What forms of transportation are available for couples traveling in Europe?
These days, Europe is just rife with transportation opportunities. It used to be that you would buy a Eurail pass and you would visit several cities, and you can still do that and it's a convenient and often inexpensive way to see places. Nowadays, there's been a rise in intra-European travel. There are many low-cost budget carriers: RyanAir, EasyJet and many others that fly you from one destination to another for a fraction of that cost of what we call the legacy carriers. These come with their own sets of complications; for example, some of them charge you to check baggage or if you exceed a certain baggage limit. The airlines may not fly into the main city; for example, in Britain, instead of flying from Heathrow, you may be flying from Stanstead; or you may be flying into what you think is Barcelona, but it's actually the airport outside of Barcelona which is fairly far from the city center. However, the budget airlines do offer an opportunity to save money and see many destinations that you might not otherwise have a chance to see.
