Via The Flight Deal, there are great deals to Lisbon, Munich, and Vienna from Cleveland, Denver, Houston, Newark, and San Francisco. They found flights as low as $403 round-trip!
On Google Flights I found from San Francisco to Lisbon for $423. Be sure to check connection times to see if it makes sense for you.
I also found flights in the $400 range from Newark to Munich in October. And I found non-stop flights just after Oktoberfest (Oktoberfest 2016 ends October 2) for $577. That’s still a good deal!
Most of the fares are for travel between September to early December, 2016, and January to April 2017.
This sale likely will NOT last. You can search for dates on Google Flights. And book with a site like Orbitz or Priceline.
Here’s my series on how to use ITA Matrix to find flights. And my post for how to use the very easy Google Flights.
