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.
There's no better time to book that Euro trip you've been wanting to go on. Several Oneworld carriers are offering great deals to European cities such as Zurich (ZRH), Brussels (BRU), Berlin (TXL), and Vienna (VIE) and more from several US cities for departures from September 2016 through March 2017, excluding the Christmas and New Year's holidays. We're seeing fares as low as $415 round-trip from Washington, D.C. to Zurich, for example. These itineraries require a stop in each direction but that shouldn't deter you from taking advantage of these amazing fares.
