Yesterday, I posted about a great sale to London and woke up to an amazing sale to Europe. American Airlines is offering sub-$500 flights to multiple European cities from lots and lots of cities in the US. These fares are available through November.
Quoting directly from the Flight Deal, these cities include (but are not limited to):
- Los Angeles [LAX]

- San Francisco [SFO]
- Washington D.C. [WAS]
- Boston [BOS]
- Miami [MIA]
- Fort Lauderdale [FLL]
- Santa Ana [SNA]
- San Jose [SJC]
- Portland [PDX]
- Seattle [SEA]
- Boston [BOS]
- Atlanta [ATL]
- Detroit [DTW]
- Salt Lake City [SLC]
- Orlando [MCO]
- Kansas City [MCI]
- Las Vegas [LAS]
- Hartford [BDL]
- Nashville [BNA]
- Richmond [RIC]
- Jacksonville [JAX]
- Greensboro [GSO]
- Charleston [CHS]
- Tampa [TPA]
- Norfolk [ORF]
- Tucson [TUS]
- Des Moines [DSM]
- Columbus [CMH]
- Milwaukee [MKE]
- Buffalo [BUF]
- Dayton [DAY]
- Gainesville [GNV]
- Pensacola [PNS]
As always, the Flight Deal has all the details.
I subscribe to the Flight Deals tweets and check them pretty often. I may have booked deals during work meetings. (If my boss is reading this, disregard the last sentence).
I can jump on fares when there’s still lots of availability and I don’t miss out on the deals I want to take advantage of.
I’ve shared my process of “subscribing” to great fares.
This process involves signing up for twitter. Even if you won’t be an active user of twitter, it’s a good idea to have an account to take advantage of deals on contests in general.
You can see my post on this here.
I recommend following them even if you aren’t in those areas because they are gateway cities. There’s a lot of good international deals–worth the effort flying out to the gateway.
The question is where to credit these low fares. Last time I flew to Europe I earned less miles then I did on my car rental. I earned miles based on a $75 fare, even though I payed hundreds of dollars for my ticket.
Yeah, most of the cost of these fares is the taxes and fees!
