United / Air Canada / American – Starting $425: United States – Europe. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

United and its partners (Air Canada, Lufthansa, Swiss etc) are putting Europe on sale from the $400s for September and October travel. The lowest we found was Istanbul from San Francisco for $425. Most are in the upper $500s (Spain) to lower $600s (France and Italy).

Here’s what we found:

  • Dublin [DUB]
  • Shannon [SNN]
  • Istanbul [IST]
  • Madrid [MAD]
  • Barcelona [BCN]
  • Paris [CDG]
  • Rome [FCO]
  • Amsterdam [AMS]
  • Munich [MUC]
  • London [LHR]
  • Lisbon [LIS]
  • Prague [PRG]
  • Budapest [BUD]
  • Athens [ATH]
  • There could be others; this is based on our quick check

Not all of the above is available from every departure city. This is a NATIONWIDE sale though and it is available from almost every city with service, so check yours. A 7 day stay is required.

Prices will vary by departure and destination. But this sale is below the norm for all destinations.

Update 6/26/2016 @ 10:10PM Eastern – American matched a lot of destinations such as Paris, Amsterdam etc. And yes, AA is even available from their hubs like Dallas.
