Come to Europe with us, new video, and $490 flights to Sweden

We're writing this from a pub in the UK, which feels about right.

The last week has been a blur of Christmas markets across Europe. Munich, Nuremberg, a stop in Bruges, and now Winchester. Mulled wine in hand, lights strung overhead, the smell of roasted almonds following us everywhere. It's been magical in the way that word actually means something.

But there's something about crossing into the UK that just feels... cozy. Like the whole country decided to lean into winter instead of fight it. We're sitting by a fire right now, and we're not mad about it.

Here's the thing, though. While we've been wandering through all of this, we keep having the same thought:

We wish you were here.

Not in a greeting-card way. In a "this would be so much better with more people" way. The kind of trip where you turn to someone and say, "Are you seeing this?" and they actually are.

So we're doing something about it.

Next December, we're leading a Christmas market trip through Germany and Austria. And we want you to come.

Seven days. Three cities. Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna, all connected by scenic train rides through the Alps. Palaces, Christmas markets, mulled wine, and a whole lot of wandering through places that feel like they belong inside a snow globe.

No figuring out logistics. No stressing about trains or tickets. Just show up and we'll handle the rest.

The dates are December 16–22, 2026.

We opened early bird pricing at $200 off, and 8 6 spots remain at that rate. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Now if you'll excuse us, we need to finish up this email.

Pro Tip:

We keep hearing that if you mark your checked bag as fragile, it'll be the last one loaded onto the plane and first onto the carousel. We haven't tested it yet, but it costs nothing to try. Will report back.

✈️ Flights We’d Text to Friends

Here are a few that caught our eye this week:

Is there a city you wish we would feature for flights? Email us back and we'll put it in the next email.

We find all of these through Going. It is worth setting up alerts for your home airport. Most of these deals won't last long, so if one catches your eye, don't sit on it.

NEW VIDEO! We just dropped our Salzburg video. Baroque architecture, monk-brewed beer, incredible views, and a city that caught us off guard in the best way.
