So, I know this whole recession thing has a lot of people really down, but I’m more a glass-half-full kind of person—which is why I’m feeling pretty excited that the sluggish economy has made for some pretty amazing travel deals as of late. Apparently the economy has scared many people into not going on their annual vacation (well, that or getting laid off), and that means airlines are being forced to roll out some pretty hot deals on airfares.

Whether you are looking for a great last-minute deal on a spring break trip, or you just simply are craving a little get away before summer arrives (and with it more expensive airfare and hotel rates), Air France is offering a fantastic deal on packages to Paris and Amsterdam starting at under $1000. The package includes round-trip airfare on Air France, 3-night hotel accommodations in Paris, 3-night hotel accommodations in Amsterdam, a continuing flight between Paris and Amsterdam, a daily continental breakfast and all hotel taxes and service charges.

You always hear about springtime in Paris, and with some of the great deals to France right now, this year may be the perfect time to travel to France. The greatest part of this package deal? You’ll not only get to play in the City of Lights, but you’ll also get to check Amsterdam (Sin City of Europe), where you may even feel compelled to check out the Red Light District or the Coffee Shops.
