Yesterday, I wrote about a sale that was targeted more towards Madrid and Barcelona – but from many cities around the US. This morning, this incredible $400 sale to Europe is better than ever! It now covers many cities around the US to most major cities in Europe and it is bookable through September/October 2017!
Incredible $400 Sale to Europe Even Better – All Over Europe & Deep into 2017!
What started as many cities to Spain for $400 and a bit below has turned into a huge $400 airfare sale from dozens of cities around the US to most major cities in Europe!
Definitely check your departure city because I am seeing these incredible $400 sale prices from airports as small as Toledo, OH (which only serves Chicago via American Airlines) to major cities around Europe.
This sale is also not restricted to single airlines either. I have searched multiple combinations that end up using a few airlines to get tot the smaller cities in Europe. It is literally wide open.
To make it even better, this incredible $400 sale to Europe now even is bookable into October 2017 – pretty much the end of the schedule! There are fewer cities available then but to still be able to get these prices that far away is incredible indeed!
Finding the Prices
To start, I use Google Flights. Enter your departure city and type Europe for your destination to see what cities might be available from your origination.
You can select the calendar (when you pick your cities) and it will populate with the prices for the various dates.
After you find it, you can either book it through the airline or go through something like Orbitz or Expedia.
There have been cheaper deals to Europe in the past but this is incredible due to the availability from and to so many cities and for so many dates. I honestly do not know how long this will last (would really love some Star Alliance love first!) but I would definitely book now and deal with planning later! Remember, you have up to 24 hours to cancel after you book your reservation! So there is really no reason not to start booking something!
Europe for 26,000 Points
If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, you will be able to use your Ultimate Reward points at a value of 1.5 cents per point. This will let you book roundtrip travel from the US to Europe for 26,000 points! That is unbelievable, especially since a regular award ticket with someone like United (a Ultimate Rewards transfer partner) is 60,000 miles round trip plus taxes. This is 26,000 points roundtrip and no extra money!
Book and move fast! This will likely not last long but you will not find a better, cheaper way to get around Europe than this – at least for a while. I mean, I am even seeing Toledo – Nice, France for $468 for early fall travel!!
If I use chase points to purchase a ticket on American. Can I than use 25000 American Points +350 to upgrade to Business. Do you know if one chase website when booking a ticket if they allow you to pay extra for even more space?
[…] HT: Running with Miles […]
Trying to find flights from PDX and not seeing anything. Any ideas?
Where are you looking to fly to and what are the dates?
Pretty open as far as destination. Italy or Portugal would be nice but open. Sometime in the spring, again open as to dates.
I really like your blog write-up which is obviously informative & fantastic…. Keep sharing more… Thanks a lot!!!
Echoing that sentiment about star alliance. Seeing tons of great AA and DL deals and wishing UA or *A partners would jump in too. There was a bit of availability released morning of 22nd that went in an hour or two.
