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 Platinum Card® from American Express, 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.

Three low-cost carriers are offering exceptional transatlantic deals, with round-trip flights to the City of Light starting at just $300. The cheapest prices are on low-cost carriers, but itineraries are available on full-service carriers as well for a bit more money. These discounted fares are generally available from November 2017 through March 2018 — including Valentine's Day for those planning ahead — but exact availability will depend on your origin and destination. We recommend doing your research through Google Flights and then booking either directly through the airlines themselves or with an OTA such as Expedia or Orbitz.
