To book this offer, start by searching for your airport and destination via Google Flightsas I did with the search from New York to Amsterdam.
Once you’ve identified a flight that fits your schedule, I recommend booking directly through the airline, even if doing so results in a slightly higher price, which is the case with this flight. .

Many of the flights on this deal, including this one, will have at least one pause, so be sure to consider that for planning purposes. However, some, such as this one hour stopover at Dublin Airport (DUB) are much more manageable than others.
The lowest priced flights will be for the carrier’s most restrictive economy fares, in this example Aer Lingus economy fares. This fare includes one carry-on baggage but charges between $25-$65 for checked baggage depending on size.
While baggage fees vary by carrier, you’ll want to charge between $27-$75 each way for baggage in addition to the fare, depending on the airline.

Key point
A $500 round-trip flight from the US to Europe is a great thing in any case, especially when the dollar is still particularly strong against the euro.
Not only can you save money on airfare with this offer, but you can also use that savings once you’ve arrived in Europe. According to my experimental search done for this story, some of these flights only have a few seats left, so hurry to book if interested.
