Is it cheaper for Europeans to travel than it is for Americans?

I have friends in the United Kingdom and France, and they're ALWAYS traveling! They're not rich either. I think they would be in the lower-middle class ranking. My friends in England just came back from a Spanish resort in Spain, and they're planning on going to Turkey and even Greece within the next 2 months!

My friends in France just went to Australia for a WHOLE MONTH. They also fly to places in Asia in the summertime for vacation and everything.

So, are flying prices in Europe a lot cheaper than they are in America? I remember one of my English friends saying that you can get round-trip tickets to Italy for under £50!

Does it have to do with the Euro and Pound currency since they're worth more? Do airlines and resorts offer lower prices to Europeans for some reason?

It's so expensive to travel here in America, especially on a plane. My family hasn't been on vacation in years even though we're upper-middle class!

Update:

Donald Duck - Do you know WHY it's cheap?

Also, why would it cost 10 Euro to go from London to Rome when the United Kingdom uses the Pound for currency and not the Euro? o.O Why are you from?

    It is simple: Europeans travel much much cheaper then the americans.

    For example a ticket from London to Rome may cost as little as 10.00 euro (15.00 USD). It is important to book early. Search for "european low-cost airlines".

    That's one of the best things we, the europeans have. I hope it will last for ever.

    I can go for coffee in Paris, and then the next day I can go on the beach in Spain, and still be back in London on monday for just 60 US dollars.
