Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

If you're a resident of South Florida and the City of Light has been on your radar for a spring or fall getaway, this is a great opportunity to grab a cheap flight!

Lauderdale (FLL) to Paris (CDG) for as low as $428 round-trip.

You don't need any tricks to get these airfares, so just use Google Flights to find the dates you want, then book on Orbitz, Expedia or directly with the airline itself. Since these are all full service airlines, you'll get one free checked bag and a meal when you're flying internationally.
