If you’re thinking about traveling to Europe this spring, I have some great deals for you. We’re seeing business-class flights from the West Coast, including Los Angeles (LAX), Portland (PDX) and Seattle (SEA) to several cities in Europe starting at just $1,890 round-trip.
All tickets include one stop both ways on airlines like Swiss, Lufthansa and United. I’m seeing the best deals throughout April 2020.
