So if you're in need of a long weekend escape to someplace decidedly warm (and not some place further north that's still vacillating back and forth between spring and winter chill), then it doesn't get any better than this.

Air France Roundtrip Flights to Europe
Vendor: Travelzoo

Lowest By: $107

Take advantage of that, and this stellar airfare sale, and book yourself a trip to France, Italy, and more.

This price is based on departure from New York, NY, (JFK) to Milan, Italy, (MXP) on April 29 with return on May 11; other departure cities are available for an additional cost. Available destinations include Paris, Barcelona, Milan, and more. Book this travel deal by April 30 for travel through May 15.

Normally these passes cost $16 a pop, which means even Gold members are saving at least $80. And we all know how irritating it is to lose contact with work, family, and Facebook while you're up in the air.
