Via The Flight Deal, you can fly from Newark to Gothenburg, Sweden, for just $293 round-trip on United Airlines and partners. You can depart late August through October 2016. You can also look for dates March through May 2017.
And fly from Chicago to Stockholm, Sweden, for $467 round-trip departing in October 2016.
I used Google Flights and found flights for ~$305 from New York City area airport Newark to Gothenburg leaving August 29 and returning September 6, 2016.
Here are the details. And how to search for deals from your city!

When I checked Google Flights for Newark to Gothenburg the price showed as $395. But when I clicked through to United Airlines, it dropped to ~$305!
You can book directly on the airline website or through a site like Orbitz.
If you book a ticket with an online travel agency like Orbitz, Expedia, or Priceline 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!
Note: You can cancel a United Airlines booking 24 hours after you book to get a full refund.
Hotel Information
If you book a sale flight, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending.
Check out my favorite Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Starwood hotels in Europe!
To find hotels that can be booked with points, I use 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: If you prefer to book paid stays, 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 another terrific way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays. Here are some tips on how to negotiate a better Airbnb price, and how to find a safe and comfortable Airbnb.
