Act fast for great deals on flights to many of the top cities in Europe for less than $400 round-trip.
This is a wide-ranging sale on flights to Europe with availability on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Tap Air Portugal, SAS, United Airlines and others.
The best deal I found was for $358 from Newark (EWR) to Paris (ORY).

Do some digging, because flights to almost every city in Europe are on sale.

Sample flights
There are a ton of possibilities with this fare sale. I found fares for under $400 from multiple U.S. cities to multiple European capitals.
Keep in mind that some of these fares are basic-economy tickets, so you will pay extra for seat selection, early boarding and bags, and you may not earn elite status credit or miles on some fares.
Here are a few great deals.
Newark to Paris on Tap Air Portugal for $358
New York to London on JetBlue for $420
San Francisco to London on Tap Air Portugal for $458
