Check out skyauction.com. You can get some good deals, but most flights are from the east coast. It can cost as much or more to get from west coast to east coast as it will cost to get from east coast to Europe.

no suggestions on cheap flights, but if you're looking for a climbing partner over there, i'll be around all summer.

have you considered buying a large box and having yourself shipped?

find the cheapest possible flight to any city in Europe through orbitz, travelocity, etc or though a consolidator (STA travel also has cheap flights). Cheapest cities to fly into will probably be London, Paris, Amsterdam, etc. Then book a budget airline flight to Geneva on a carrier like Ryanair, easyjet, jetblue, etc.

 

check www.whichbuget.com for those cheap flights

think 15 euros

thats the baggage fees alone on EireO'Flot now. If you've no bags and a 6kg carryon they are the cheapes (not counting the shit outof the way airports). Otherwise real carriers may be cheaper www.opodo.co.uk

airlineconsolidator.com is a good start. Its much cheaper to fly from new york generally. I would disagree with everybody about flying somewhere else before geneva, except for london. Geneva is a hub for three airlines and you can often get good prices direct or one hop from new york. Check out Zurich as well. EasyJet and RyanAir are kind of a total pain in the ass due to the fact that they fly from places like stansted and are very anal about how much your luggage weighs.
