In years gone by the jet set life of the playboy was something that the multitude of us could only sit back and envy, longing to be able to travel the world taking in the richest cities on the planet and going away on holidays at the drop of a hat. But now with the development of the inter web travel industry and the growth of the low cost airline companies we can all sample a slight bit of the playboy lifestyle, albeit not in as much luxury as the rich playboys of this world but at least we can get to see some of the finer places on the planet. The low cost airlines generally travel to airports that are in the vicinity of popular cities and not usually direct to the city itself but for a small cost it is usually possible to get a train or coach directly from your airport into the heart of the major city. So where are the most popular destinations that the low cost airlines fly to and what is there to do when you are there?

One of the most popular destinations with frequent users of low cost airlines is Treviso in the North East of Italy. This beautiful town would be worthy of the price of a low cost flight on its own but as it is the nearest airport to the most beautiful city on the planet, Venice, it rarely gets a look in, which is a shame as Treviso is lovely. When you collect your luggage at Treviso airport, which has been newly refurbished you head out into the main concourse of the airport which is where you will find the stall that sells bus ticket to Venice. The times of the buses coincide with the flight times of low cost airlines and so you never have very much waiting around to do when you have landed. The bus goes directly into the main bus terminal in Venice Piazzale Roma from where you can get a boat or a water taxi down the entire length of the Grand Canal to St Marks and beyond. Do not be put off by people telling you that Venice is horrendously expensive, it is not and by booking on line you can find some very good and reasonably priced hotels in great locations. There is so much to do in Venice, churches, architecture, cafes, bars, restaurants, history and just walking around that you would be hard pushed to find a better destination to head for with a low cost air line, but if you fancy something a little more active there are alternatives for you.

Madrid and Barcelona are two other locations that are very popular with all low cost airlines. As with Treviso the airlines generally fly in to Reus and Girona if you are heading to Barcelona but Madrid is one of the few airlines where direct flights are possible. Spain has always been a popular destination for travelers with its culture, climate and food it makes a perfect all year round destination, but now people are finding different reasons to use the low cost airlines to get to Spain, a golfing vacation. A golfing vacation used to be the preserve of bank managers, high flying salesmen and international jet setting playboys and the generally well to do but thanks to low cost airlines it is now possible to have a golfing vacation in Spain at anytime of the year, especially when the weather is bad at home.

Sticking to the same principle as before, you can book the hotel on line for your golfing vacation and fly to one of the regional airports that is serviced by a low cost airline, this way you can keep the cost of the whole golfing vacation down to a minimum. Thanks to the low cost airlines you may now be able to afford a golfing vacation a couple of times year, just do not tell the bank managers, high flying salesmen or international jet setters how much you paid.
