Due to factors such as oil prices, political situations, and the onset of the off-peak season, group tour prices for Europe this autumn are 5,000–15,000 yuan cheaper than during the summer peak, and also 3,000–6,000 yuan less compared to the same period last year. Many airlines have launched promotions on long-haul routes to Europe in September, with round-trip airfares starting as low as around 4,000 yuan—almost cheaper than a high-speed rail ticket. Travelers can seize the opportunity to realize their European dreams at an affordable price. (Prices are exclusive of taxes, which vary by airline)
