It is a great year to go to Europe - as many of the major events and those, too obscure.
For example, if you go to London, it is that the Royal Wedding set for April 29 (I would provide more details except my invitation seems to be lost in the mail). If the royals are not your thing, it is also the 49th anniversary of a group called the Rolling Stones, and I understand that they did rather well.
In other areas, it is the 250th anniversary of the first veterinary school, Lyon, France. expect even more yappy dogs little Frolic at the sidewalk cafés. Or the 150th anniversary of a unified Italy and search for driving across the country, especially in Turin.
But you do not have a reason to go to Europe. all you need is a ticket, preferably a relatively cheap. And this is where enter.
The best time to fly in Europe? Easy. Just learn the secret of the seasons of plane ticket.

The price of the ticket most is ruled by a consideration: the airlines want to get as much cash from you as possible. This my, you practice too. I have yet to meet the home-seller who said, "Gee, I don't know if this couple can really allow my McMansion called sidewalk, so I better lower the price.".
Capacity comes into play too, especially on domestic flights. U.S. airlines were ditches seats left and right in recent years and by controlling seat supply, prices of the stream and flow with the application.
It is a story a little different on international routes, especially when it comes to Europe because the price of tickets is primarily governed by the seasons.
To some extent, it is obvious: the summer is the season more expensive to fly because it is the time where everyone wants to travel and winter is less expensive, because few wish to stroll the Champs-Elysees in a blizzard (OK)(, blizzards are rare in Parismais snow has made close to the Eiffel Tower this past December).
What to do? To begin with, namely the seasons of your ticket European, especially when they start and end.
Historically, the season ticket for Europe begins in very late may or the first week of June and ends in late August, more generally in the last week of the month.
A Web site with a calendar of research of flexible ticket like mine can tell you when the price breaks are exactly, so you can plan your route accordingly.
If you are travelling with the family - that is to say, bringing the children - and you do not want to take them to school, travel in late August or early September to save. Or if their mandate ends at the beginning, go to mid-May.
Do not dismiss winter trip, either. You have no idea how uncomfortable may be a novel August? Try "unbearably hot" - he said in fact that of Italian tourism website (although to be fair, I never found as well).
Winter trip has other benefits that outweigh the chill: fewer crowds will mean less long lines to enter the popular attractions and a more peaceful pace which allows for better interaction with the locals. At least it is this that traveller based in Atlanta Cheryl Potts discovered when she went on Tour Italy last November.
"One of our friends got soaked to the skin in a downpour," said Potts, "so personal nice restaurant of Rome took his shirt and had dried and pressed while we ate." They even give her a sheet to tile wear! ?
Try to get this kind of caring service in a trattoria packaged in July.
