Similar to the huge Australia sale (which is still ongoing), there’s a nationwide sale to multiple European cities going on right now! Trans-Atlantic fares from mid-level and smaller airports at the same prices as major hubs is extremely rare, but I tested over a dozen regional airports and came back with prices from $461 to $675; I’m sure there are more opportunities available at similar prices. Destinations map out from Portugal to Germany, and from Denmark to Italy – most major European destinations are included. While the summer is still at high season pricing, these prices are good for February and March, and October through December. These are basic economy fares, but all 3 major domestic airlines include a carry-on internationally for BE. Buying up to main cabin will still be cheaper than the average fares on these seats, so you can sit next to a partner and still save.
A small sample includes:
- Louisville to Amsterdam for $466
- Colorado Springs to Milan from $478
- Nashville to Venice from $498
- Omaha to Madrid from $470
Really: just search for any airport near your home and your odds are phenomenal for finding a deal.
As with most deals like this, prices could rise to the usual $800 – $1400 range at any time, but US fares have a 24-hour refund guarantee with airlines and trusted OTAs, so you can buy now and still have time to change later.
