Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.

After yesterday's British Airways business and first-class fare sale, Delta and United have followed suit by discounting their own business-class fares to Europe this summer. While you can't apply the AARP discount like you can with British Airways, the fares for business class are still quite good. You can expect to find discounted fares from a handful of US hubs to several major European gateways such as London (LHR), Paris (CDG) and Rome-Fiumicino (FCO). Search for your desired itinerary on Google Flights and then head over to the airline's website to complete your booking.
