Did I miss something?

If there is something I missed about the continent while being in Ireland was all the cheap flying.

For some reason I remembered how cheap it was to fly within Europe each time I was taking the train to Galway. Having to pay more than 50 bucks to go and return from Galway to Dublin is something I totally considered a rip off. It wasn't even a nice train. In the winter one was freezing and if it was warmer then you'd be boiling.

So back in the continent, I start thinking of two possible destinations while my work situation gets sorted. So I pick, Barcelona and Budapest to start.

Last time I booked a flight to Budapest, in August I paid 35 Euro for a return ticket from Amsterdam. But I missed something since then... I don't know if it is the oil prices or what, but I wasn't able to find any ticket to Budapest from anywhere in Germany, Netherlands or Belgium for less than 150 bucks.

I'm scared. Being single I have a flying habbit I must be able to mantain.
