Travel package to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam?
My wife and I are planning a trip for 6-8 days in Europe and are planning to visit at least three cities, including Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Who knows where I can find good deals? We do not want to tour all the flights and hotels. Air France seems the best so far. MerciRéponse

Clock for different sites, such as Obitz, Cheaptickets, Yahoo, Expedia, Priceline, and even some large airlines for prices. As for hotels, try bed and breakfast, if you find, and I have this page that I use every year: http://www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/
Paris Hotels
Momondo and Skyscanner are two European-based flight comparison sites, and they always find the cheapest tickets in my experience. You can play around with dates and cities to determine the cheapest combination.

6-8 days isn’t enough to see more than 3 cities (personally I would limit it to two). Once you consider transportation times from airports to hotels, around the cities, and between the cities, you’ll find you have much less time than you expect.
I don’t know your standards/budget, but I can recommend a good 2-star hotel in Paris. It is 10-15 minutes east of the city center by Metro, in a cozy Paris neighborhood. Rates aren’t much higher than a private hostel room, but it is much nicer, and one of the owners is a very helpful American woman. The bakery across the street is fantastic.

I always stay at hostels in Amsterdam, and haven’t been to Brussels, but I usually find hotels using TripAdvisor. If you are on a budget, look for the lowest-priced hotel in the top 25% of rankings.
