I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of any extra-cheap ways to get a flight to Europe - I've heard of these "courier" deals, but I really don't know much about them. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi - I know a little bit about the whole courier idea, but to be completely honest, in these times I'd be a little extra wary about accompanying a package with contents unknown to you, onto a plane. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but that's my two cents.

If you do still want to look into it further, there's a great book I know of called "You Can Travel Free" by a guy named Robert William Kirk (ISBN 1565543173) It has extensive info about tons of ways to travel free, from courier companies to educational programs, to charitable organizations around the world. Hope that helps.
