This is one of those things that I thought I had missed since I woke up to it already being written about (I am 7 hours ahead of EST) and figured it would be gone quickly. Well, it is still around and may work for some of you who want to get to Europe over the next several months. Check out this post at The Flight Deal for more cities and information.
Great deal from Newark to Dublin, Ireland – $445 on US Airways!
These fares vary based on departure and arrival cities and are valid on American Airlines, US Airways, and United Airlines. There are cities all over the US and Europe that are showing fares between the mid-$400s and $700 until May of 2015 (with the exception of December 15 – 23). These flights can be booked on the actual airline websites or using an OTA like Orbitz (which will give you the 24 hour cancellation).
Using ITA Matrix to find the best dates
The best way to search is to use the ITA Matrix to bring out the best dates and cities. To see how to use that, check this post.

Charles, I sent a email to you but haven’t get any response yet so I copy paste it in here :
Hi, John!
I thought it would be easier and better to respond via e-mail.
What dates are you looking at? I am seeing 25K tickets on AA in October and November. If you can give me an idea of dates and how many people, I will see what I can find.
The least it will cost you in AA miles is 25K per person (roundtrip) and Southwest starts flying out of Dallas to Aruba on November 2 but does not fly to Grand Cayman. To do it on Southwest, you will have to piece the trip together.
Let me know!
Thanks,
Charlie
Hi Charles,
I am looking to go next year, not sure of the date yet but it would be probably around June or July. Is 3 days enough for Aruba or Grand Cayman (GC)?
25k / person roundtrip in AA Metal is for offpeak ?
I have SW companion pass, I also have 110k SW miles. also Alaska Airline 30k miles and US Air 40k miles with $99 companion pass, 50k United, 160k UR, 40k AA miles. Which one is the best redemption? not looking to burn all the miles here and wanna save for my dream on Singapore Suite someday soon.
I would like to book for 2 people (me and my wife), we are based in SFO, not Dallas.
Appreciate your advice.
