cheapest way to go to Paris in september?

Q. I want the cheapest possible way to go to Paris from London or Kent. I want to go on September the 16th and come back on September 19th 2012.
I want to stay near the Eiffel Tower so if you know a special hotel deal please let me know.
I know Paris and france have a lot of cheap special offers sometimes, Please advise and thank you in advance.

A. You really have to keep checking multiple web tools, like kayak.com, booking.com, hotels.com, etc. to get the best pricing on accommodations. Hotels in other arrondisments may cost less than the Eiffel Tower neighborhood. As long as your accommodations is close to a Paris metro station, it'll be convenient to all your Paris activities and not just convenient to the Eiffel Tower.

While London is a hub for cheap flights to all over Europe, many of these airlines kill travelers with additional fees for things like food, carry-on luggage fees, online checkin fees which makes it difficult to gauge the actual cost from price unless you can figure out what all the additional costs are. There are websites that tell you about some of these airlines extra costs.

You may also want to consider the cost of the Eurostar train where the cost is pretty straightforward without hidden fees.

What are the best chain hotels in London?

Q. Which brands of chain hotels near central London are the best ? Which give the best value (meaning decently priced & nice, clean rooms)?

A. Why do you think that hotel chains are better than privately owned hotels? I think just like alunhill that privately owned hotels can offer better deals than chain hotels.

You can use the map or sort hotels on price at
http://www.travel-europe.org to find the best value hotel. It also has a rating of the hotels by customers etc..

How do I find good deals on all inclusive vacation packages?

Q. I'm looking for a website that helps you find international vacations, including airfare, hotel, and perhaps some attractions in the area. So far, I have yet to find much. Specifically, I'm looking for a package to Stockholm, Sweden.

A. AIrfare + hotel packages to Europe don't seem to be as popular as they once were. My theory is that people are now more particular about accommodations and don't want to be limited to a short list of hotels.

Sites like Orbitz and Travelocity sell airfare + hotel, but when I have checked them for trips to Europe I haven't been impressed with the prices compared to booking separately (places like London tend to be exceptions - high volume + high street prices.)

You could check the SAS site to see if they have not so much packages, but perhaps can highlight some good deals on hotels. I've never looked, but maybe browse the Ryanair site since they specialize in cheap - maybe they link to something useful, even if you don't fly with them.

The Swedish tourist office has a "package finder" but I think they don't include air. Example:

Finder link:

If you're googling, you may wish to consider your terminology. "All inclusive" makes me think of hotel with all meals and drinks - common in sun destinations, less so is northern Europe. The price of alcohol in Sweden can be startling. Hope that helps a little.
