American Airlines has just discounted dozens of round-trip flights to Athens, Venice, and other dreamy European cities — all starting at under $500.
“Together with our partners Aer Lingus, British Airways, Finnair and Iberia, we take you to your favorite destinations in Europe,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Explore limited-time deals to the U.K., Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and more.”
This sale, which ends on Tuesday, Sep. 17, is valid for flights on various dates from now until May 2024. There are several blackout dates depending on the route, generally excluding holidays and peak spring break periods. Additionally, these discounted fares are only valid for weekday travel — flights from the U.S. to Europe depart on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, with return flights available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Travel + Leisure found the following round-trip deals from these U.S. cities departing over the next seven months:
Most of these discounted fares are available in basic economy, which does not allow for flight changes and charges additional fees for a seat assignment. However, travelers can upgrade to a Main cabin fare to check a bag for free, choose a seat, and cancel a flight for a travel credit.
This latest sale from American Airlines comes as the carrier announced several new Europe routes next summer, including Chicago to Madrid; Philadelphia to Edinburgh and Milan; and Charlotte and Miami to Rome. The airline has seen success on many of these routes and will bring back its seasonal flights between its Philadelphia hub and Copenhagen, Naples, and Nice next summer.
