What’s the Deal?

Here’s how to use Google Flights to find sale dates.
If you book a ticket with an online travel agency like Orbitz or Expedia, you may be eligible for a refund within a short time of booking your ticket. Check out my post on cancellation policies for airlines and online travel agencies for more details!
I used ITA Matrix to search for available dates.
And sometimes when you go to book, the fare is even lower! I found a ~$334 fare on the American Airlines website between New York (JFK) and Dublin (the return flights are on Finnair via Helsinki).
If you want to explore Europe beyond Dublin, it’s great base to fly on budget carriers to explore the rest of Europe!
And other cities, like Amsterdam, London, Milan, Paris, and Rome are also on sale!
This is a terrific opportunity for an inexpensive getaway!
Don’t Live Near New York? Get There for Cheap!
You can use your miles to get to New York for close to free!
Here’s a few ways you can get there:
- United Airlines – There are lots of ways to earn United Airlines miles. Including transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to United Airlines. If you need help with booking a United Airlines award flight, check out my post on how to use United Airlines miles.
- Southwest – If you need more Southwest points, Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to Southwest. Plus, if you have the Southwest Companion Pass, a friend can fly with you for (almost) free!
- British Airways – If you’re a short flight away from New York, you can save miles by using British Airways Avios points to book an award flight on American Airlines. Chase Ultimate Rewards points, American Express Membership Rewards points, and Starwood Preferred Guest points transfer to British Airways.
If you don’t want to use miles, check sites like Google Flights, Orbitz, and Expedia for cheap fares!

Remember to use a card that will earn you bonus points:

If you get in on this deal to Europe, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending!
Here are some of my favorite Starwood hotels in Europe for ideas on where to stay.
Folks with Hilton points or weekend nights to use from the Citi Hilton Reserve card might consider some of these top European Hilton hotels!
To find hotels that can be booked with points, I like using Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are actually available!) or AwardMapper.
Remember, you can transfer flexible points like Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to different hotel programs.

Note: Folks who want to book paid stays could check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals. But remember you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized). Airbnb is a great way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays.
