Question
I am traveling on a budget to London and Paris.

What is the most favorable credit cards for both of these two countries?

What is the season when hotels and airfares are the lowest in London and Paris?

Answer
Hi Donna:

What timing....that is to say we leave in two weeks for a six weeks visit to Paris, then Barcelona and London all told  2 1/2 months. So both favorite cities much on my mind every day....

Please let me know the following:
1) How many are traveling?
2) What is your idea of a budget hotel price for Paris and London?
3) What city/state do you live in? (relates to credit card question)
4) How much time in each city?
