Just as we were loading more fares onto our deal pages, we noticed that these flight prices kept dropping. Now we see itineraries to Europe starting as low as $277 roundtrip from the West Coast! $70-80 less than what was available just a few hours ago.

The majority of these fares are from traditional United hub airport regions with rival American and its Oneworld partners undercutting prices to destinations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

This is just a quick glimpse at what we've seen so far other routes and airports might get added soon if United decides to retaliate and drop prices from AA hubs.

Travel Availability

Departure days vary slightly by route. But in general, flights from the USA are available starting in late September/October on Monday through Thursday departures through the end of the booking calendar in March 2020. Some routes even have scarce inventory left in late August and September, so click on the fare details below for more information on each city pairing.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find some of these deals overlapping with Oktoberfest which is from September 21 to October 6 this year.
