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 the 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.
We've seen plenty of cheap flights to Europe during the winter months, even on full-service carriers. However, many of those deals require a connection to get the low price. If nonstops are more your thing, Norwegian's still running its New Year Sale, which is offering plenty of direct flights to Europe over the next couple of months.
Flights to most of Norwegian's destinations appear to be on sale, so head to carrier's site and use their low-fare calendar to search for the cheapest dates from your preferred origin city. Nonstop flights to Paris (CDG), Dublin (DUB) and Rome (FCO) seem to be the cheapest.
Remember that Norwegian is a budget carrier (although many TPG staff members are fans), so you'll have to pay for a checked bag and to select your seat. However, this is similar to other full-service carriers' transatlantic basic economy fares that impose the same ancillary fees.
