Flights for vatsim in Europe

I'm from the USA and fly on Vatsim exclusively in the USA. But I noticed that there are hundreds of pilots online in Europe all the time not like the USA. I want to fly there but I don't know of any airports to fly too and from that a 737 could fly. Not flights to Europe from America but just flights from and to airports within Europe. So can someone help me out in finding flights?

There are many possible flights, and 737s are used a lot in Europe. Here's a few you could try:

Dublin - Athens
London Gatwick - Barcelona
Glasgow (Scotland) - London Heathrow

and many more. I'm sure other Europeans will have ideas, but within Western Europe at least, a 737 could manage most of the popular routes. North Europe (UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway) to Spain, Portugal, Italy and southern France are popular real-life routes during the summer, as folk look for better weather near the Mediterranean. London Heathrow, Paris CDG and Amsterdam are major hubs, though a lot of the flights from those airports head to the USA and Asia. But there are plenty of flights within Europe too.

Flights I've personally done in real life on a 737 include Glasgow - Palma (Majorca, Spain); Glasgow Prestwick (EGPK) - London Stansted (EGSS); St Petersburg, Russia - London Heathrow; Glasgow - Salzburg (Austria).

Perhaps you should see which European areas are best staffed in VATSIM and make your decision based on that. Careful if you fly to or from Russia, though. They use different standards, with altitudes in metres and a different way of referencing altimeter settings too.

Do what i do most the time.

as your from america il give you some links but this is what i do anyway.

I go to a real life airlines website (i.e: Ryanair) look up some flight thay do so say London Stansted - Murcia, San Javier And then go on V-Route then get my route then im off.

Try some european airlines website, search for avalible flight then get the ICAO and type it on V-Route (Which is freeware software)

Some Real-life airlines,

Ryanair - http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/
EasyJet - http://www.easyjet.com/en/book/index.asp
British Airways - http://www.britishairways.com/travel/home/public/en_gb
SAS - http://www.flysas.com/en/uk
Air France- http://www.airfrance.co.uk/cgi-bin/AF/GB/en/local/home/home/homepage.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0158732650.1216534455@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadeejelkllecefecekedgfndgfo.0
