Major Nationwide Sale on Flights to Europe
Similar sales have been popping up the last few weeks, but I wouldn’t count on this to keep happening weekly and this deal has been the best one so far. These sales often end in a flash, so get to booking now for a super cheap flight to Europe.
In addition to nationwide deals to the cities listed above, Oneworld airlines have doubled down with crazy low fares to several other cities in Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium, from major markets in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Travel Availability
The lowest fares are for travel on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
For all routes except to Frankfurt, you’ll find the lowest fares for travel from late October through early April. Flights from the NYC area, SF Bay Area, and LA Area also follow these rules for the lowest fares to Frankfurt.
The lowest fares to Frankfurt from all other cities are valid for departures from the USA in September, returning from Frankfurt in either September or October. The lowest fares to Frankfurt pop-up again for travel in April and May. Fares to Frankfurt for travel between October and March are about $30-$60 more roundtrip.
Peak holiday travel dates in late December and early January are blacked out and there is a minimum 7-night stay required to get these fares.

This is just a sample of fares, there are many more included in this nationwide sale. Even if your city isn't listed, make sure to check the price from your local airport for a super deal.
The most notable omissions from this particular sale are several hub cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Houston, Denver, Charlotte, Miami, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, and a few other cities where Oneworld airlines have nonstop flight options from the U.S. to Europe such as Austin, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans.
Unfortunately, Hawaii and Alaska are also excluded. And of course, since this is a sale on American, any airport where American Airlines doesn't fly will not have similar pricing.
Baggage
These are Basic Economy fares, which only include a carry-on bag plus one personal item. Other restrictions apply. The first checked piece of luggage will cost $60 each-way.
Seat Assignments
Seats will be assigned at random upon check-in for these prices. You may be able to pay a fee to choose a seat.
Alternate Fares
Upgrading to Main Cabin Economy will cost an additional $140-$160 roundtrip. This type of fare includes one free checked bag, seat selection, and the ticket will be eligible for upgrades. American allows ticket changes (fee applies) on both Basic Economy and Main Cabin Economy fares for European flights.
