SWISS Fare Deals ex-USA For The First Quarter Of 2015

SWISS Fare Deals ex-USA For The First Quarter Of 2015

SWISS is running an economy fare sale for travel from the USA to a variety European destinations during the first quarter of 2015.    Fares are as low as $750 (New York – Naples) and run up to the $1000-1200 range for most flights departing Los Angeles and San Francisco.   Fares from SWISS’ other US gateways fall in between this range.

The best availability and pricing is found for mid-week departures and returns (Tuesday through Thursday).   Fares that involve departures and arrivals during weekends carry a small surcharge.  Also, when I was doing a few sample bookings to confirm the fare details, I found that it takes a 7 day stay to get the lowest fares during this sale.

The fares are valid for travel between January 9 and March 12, 2015.

By the way, stayed tuned for a great contest coming from SWISS on December 14 that involves a prize to St. Moritz!! Details to come…..
