Some travel to get away from the humdrum of life… some travel, to unwind from the stresses of work. For others, it's to fulfill a dream of visiting the most places you can, in a lifetime. Whatever reason it may be, traveling to a new place somehow helps people – it soothes their spirit, calms their nerves, awakens their senses or simply enriches their life experiences.
Although most people enjoy traveling, there is a downside – it can cost a lot of money! Going on a vacation without any idea of the costs apart from the plane ticket might just suck you dry (and not just your wallet, but the fun out of the whole trip, too!)
Luckily, we have gathered here 15 of the cheapest places to fly for your next vacation – so you won't have to guess where to go next.
Malta
For centuries, the Maltese archipelago passed between North African Moors and European Crusaders in an epic struggle for control of this important hub. This constant back-and-forth created a unique culture that blended architectural, culinary, and cultural styles. In fact, the Maltese language is a mix of Arabic and Italian. The country is already very budget friendly. It’s one of the cheapest Eurozone countries out there, so you don’t need a lot, to begin with.

Kyrgyzstan
The Kyrgyz have been traditionally nomadic people up until the second quarter of the 20th century.
