CHICAGO, Nov. 8 -- CheapTickets
(http://www.cheaptickets.com), a leading online travel agency that knows,
"the less you pay, the better it feels(SM)," introduces its Fourth Quarter
2007 Off-Season Deals Report.
    Although the U.S. dollar is weaker than the Euro, travelling across
"The Pond" and staying at some of the hottest hotels for less can still be
a reality for travelers with their sights set on a vacation overseas.
Focusing its keen travel eye on popular European destinations, CheapTickets
looked to find the best overseas deals for U.S. travelers by comparing the
region's expensive summer travel period -- when cities are oversaturated
with tourists and rates are priced accordingly -- with the more intimate,
and budget- friendly travel experience of Europe in the Fourth Quarter. The
resulting analysis offers travelers an insightful look into the eight most
value- oriented European cities for the remainder of 2007.
    "Europe is rich in many things -- history, culture, and inspiring
destinations -- but our message to budget travelers is that you don't have
to be cash-rich to experience the splendor of it all," said Marita Hudson
Thomas, from the CheapTickets' Cheap Squad(SM). "This most recent report
reinforces what our budget-conscious Destination Experts have been telling
us: value-minded consumers should opt for Europe in the fall and winter,
avoiding the overloaded summer season to enjoy Europe's welcoming holiday
setting."
    Noteworthy highlights from the Q4-2007 report include:

    -- The most value-added destination for U.S. travelers this holiday
       season, Ireland claimed the number one spot on the report, offering an
       average saving of 57 percent in the Fourth Quarter compared to summer-
       time travel.
    -- A 16 percent average savings in London this winter makes the UK worth
       reconsidering - a destination often overlooked by budget travelers due
       to the currency exchange rate.
    -- As the second annual Q4 Off-Season Deals Report, CheapTickets is
       pleased to introduce two new cities for travelers' consideration:
       Amsterdam, Netherlands and Budapest, Hungary, offering 37 percent and
       28 percent savings, respectively.
    The quarterly CheapTickets Off-Season Deals Report has become a much-
valued resource for travelers, offering hard data and expert suggestions
for travel in the U.S. and abroad. To develop the 2007 Fourth Quarter
Off-Seasons Deals Report, CheapTickets monitored the average price for all
vacation package bookings (hotel + air) purchased on CheapTickets.com for
travel to key European cities during the Fourth Quarter and compared the
average rate with all vacation package bookings during the peak summer
season from June through August 2007 to the same European destinations.
