I live in Arizona. I want to fly to Europe for a while. Not a long while just like a good nice long week or two. Im inexperinced in this so does any one have any advice on finding good prices or packages from airlines so it doesnt exactly cost me a fortune? Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Best deal I heard was from a foreign exchange student from Sweden. He flew Southwest from Austin to Boston, then flew Icelandair from Boston to Amsterdam and just took the trains back to Stockholm. All in all it was about $550 one way not including train tickets. Keep in mind he booked in January of '06 and flew around May of that year.
Best bet is find a cheap flight to JFK or Boston. From there, you can get good cheap flights into Europe. I hear on the radio Lufthansa has cheap flights into Munich for like $500 roundtrip from JFK. That's damn good and puts you right into Europe from which to travel around, and come back to Munich by the end of your journey.
When setting up a flight, try different airports. For example, if you're flying to London, don't fly into Heathrow, fly into Gatwick, it's cheaper and smaller. Going to Paris, try getting a flight into Orly instead of Charles De Gaulle, same reason, it's cheaper and smaller. Kayak will let you put a destination city in (most travel sites will) and choose the "all airports" option, so you'll see flights into every airport in the city instead of just one.
