It looks like those phenomenal fares we posted from Germany yesterday have dropped some more overnight, with even more airports across Europe being included! All routes have dipped down an additional $20 roundtrip with tickets now starting as low as $290 roundtrip!
The majority of these fares are from traditional United hub airport regions with rival American, British Airways, and their Oneworld partners undercutting prices to airports across Germany, Austria, Belgium, 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 will vary slightly by the route. But in general, flights from the USA are available starting daily in late October through the end of the booking calendar in May 2020. Some routes even have limited inventory left in late August and September for a few dollars more, 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.
Peak holiday travel times are blacked out, and a 7-day minimum stay is required.
Sale Period
This sale is unadvertised, and fares may jump at any moment.
In some instances, you may need to book with a third-party site like Priceline or Expedia to find dates that work for you. But in most cases, tickets can be booked directly on AA.com
For those who have already booked and wish to receive the new lower price, you'll still be within the free 24-hour cancelation period. Either contact the booking site and see if they will honor the lower price or cancel your itinerary and rebook for the new cheaper rates.

Example Booking
Searching American's site, I found seats departing Chicago ORD on Tuesday, January 21, with a return flight from Brussels BRU on Wednesday, January 29, 2020, for $351 roundtrip. Other dates are easy to find as seat inventory is fairly wide open.
