Looking for some cheap air tickets?  Here are a couple of good deals I have found for those residing in Germany. But you’ll need to be faster than a speeding bullet to take advantage of them.  
Lufthansa is billing its upcoming fare sale as the last highlight of the year, and is once again offering round-trip flights within Europe from January through March starting from 99 euros. These sales offer great opportunities to travel to destinations that you might ordinarily pay several times that amount to reach. Some of the more far-flung places to which tickets may be available at reduced fares include: Istanbul, Turkey; Malta; or Larnaca, Cyprus. The special offer will run from Thursday, Dec. 11, through Sunday, Dec. 14, when a million extra seats will be offered at reduced prices. If you plan your travels for the first part of 2009 a bit ahead of time, you could end up with big savings.   
Would you rather see green, as in the Emerald Isle? Aer Lingus is offering a 20 percent discount on flights from Germany to Ireland, as well as to the USA, if you book before Dec. 11 and fly between Dec. 19 and March 31. Some fares I saw available online included Munich to Cork from Jan. 23-26 for 84.34 euros, or Frankfurt to Dublin from Jan. 16-18 for 72.20 euros, taxes included.  
We can’t leave our friends in the UK out in the cold, can we?  If you’re there, but looking to warm up for a few days this winter, Iberia.com has some pretty decent fares available to the Canary Islands. Fly to Tenerife from London Heathrow in February at fares beginning at 153 pounds, taxes included, or from Heathrow to Lanzarote, from 161 pounds.
