Magical deals await from Travelzoo

Magical deals await from Travelzoo

The Travelzoo has rolled out this week’s deals and we find ourselves surprised that we think $709 for a ticket to Paris as a deal aboard Air France. It wasn’t that long ago, we’d be shocked a ticket to Europe from New York cost that much. Now, it seems like a pretty good deal. ...
