We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

INSIDER SECRET: When you pay for airfare with points, you can earn frequent flyer miles on your free flight.

If you’re interested in avoiding the crowds on your next European adventure, you’re in luck. Right now there are all sorts of cheap flights to Europe from the late summer into the fall. I found flights as cheap as $237 round-trip from New York to Madrid, but even flights from the Midwest and West Coast are available in the $300s and $400s.

Even with a checked bag there are still incredibly cheap flights to Europe this fall.

Cheap Flights to Europe

Most of these flight are with Air Canada, Air France and KLM, but there are some deals with American Airlines, Air Europa and Norwegian Air. The vast majority of the cheapest prices listed below are for basic economy or “light” fares, so you’ll have to pay for things like checked bags or seat selection.

To find these deals for yourself check out our guide on how to find cheap flights with Google Flights.

If you happen to have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, you can use your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to book travel through the Chase travel portal at a rate of 1.5 cents per point. At that rate, you’d only need 15,877 to 31,000 Chase points to pay for these round-trip flights. Those kind of points prices usually would be good deals for just a one-way flight.

You can also pay for travel at a rate of 1.5 cents per point with the U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card using US Bank’s Real-Time Rewards.

The information for the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite Card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
