Deal alert: Fly nonstop business class to Europe from various US cities from $1,779
As TPG readers already know, the 2024 Summer Olympics aren't generating a massive travel boom for Paris. Would-be visitors to Europe seem to be trying to avoid the chaotic travel environment the Olympic Games (which will take place from July 26 through Aug. 11) are sure to create. So, airlines have offered some nice deals for air travel to Europe in late summer. This latest sale involves nonstop business-class itineraries — and it's not just for summer vacations.
Prices for business-class nonstops from the U.S. to a host of European cities are available for less than $1,800 round-trip in some cases. Evergreen destinations like Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome are included, as well as a few cities that don't typically show up in deals like this — places like Stuttgart, Germany, and Belgrade, Serbia.
Airlines involved in the sale include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Iberia, KLM and the all-business-class French carrier La Compagnie. Availability stretches from now through June of next year — some routes even include holidays. However, the lowest fares included in this deal will have to be booked through an online travel agency.
