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.
It seems like discounted round-trip flights to Europe are the norm recently, and this week is no different. Many airlines are offering heavily discounted fares to European cities such as Amsterdam (AMS), Istanbul (IST), Paris (CDG), Dublin (DUB), Frankfurt (FRA), Barcelona (BCN), Rome (FCO) and more right now, valid for departures from August 2016 all the way through May 2017. We’re seeing fares as low as $425 round-trip from San Francisco (SFO) to Istanbul (IST) this fall. Since these deals are so widespread, it’s best to use Google Flights to find your desired route and secure the best price.
