According to an article on MSNBC, this summer, travelers to Europe will be faced with fare increases, fuel cost surcharges and poor exchange rate on the euro. However, if you had your heart set on a European vacation, here are some strategies suggested by Farecast.com

1. Choose the right day for travel. Tuesday and Wednesday are the least expensive.
2. You can save up to $350 by traveling in May or September
3. Timing is everything! To get the best fares to Europe, either book three months in advance, or wait for late summer deals. These are usually announced in late July.

In the meantime, travel experts have found that airfare predictions by Farecast
