Summer travel in 2024 will be expensive in every way, but even more so if there’s a Taylor Swift show in town when you are. She’s planning a two-week adventure to Europe in June, which starts with a marathon flight from Honolulu to Zurich, where she’ll speak at a conference. Then she’s hopscotching across Europe — to Vienna, then on to the Olympics. She’s made plans to be in Nantes, France, to watch a soccer game, Lille for basketball and Paris for gymnastics, boxing and swimming.

But Fish found an affordable vacation rental.
