Fly nonstop to Europe from $407 round-trip on American and other Oneworld airlines
We continue to find some great discounted fares to Europe. This one involves deals on nonstop flights across the Atlantic to destinations like Amsterdam, Dublin and London from Oneworld alliance carriers such as American Airlines, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Finnair. Some of the sale fares involve layovers, but we also found a good amount of nonstops — including a few as low as $407 round-trip.
The travel window is quite generous, from October 2024 through April 2025. That gives you a chance to spend the holiday season overseas or to travel in the new year when the crowds thin out.
This deal is for economy fares. A carry-on bag is included, and checked luggage will cost between $60 and $110 each way, except on Finnair, where passengers get their first checked bag free, too.
Deal basics
Airlines: Oneworld alliance members, including American, British Airways, Iberia and Finnair.
