Open-skies promises more flights to Europe -- by Michelle Higgens
Air travel to Europe is about to undergo a significant change, one that is likely to spell more choices and cheaper fares for travelers. Starting today, the so-called open-skies agreement goes into effect, allowing airlines based in the United States and Europe to fly across the Atlantic between any two airports in each region. Before the pact, trans-Atlantic flights were governed by separate agreements between the United States and individual European nations. The pacts required airlines to take off or land in their native countries, and limited which airlines could serve certain airports.
