It seems like this year there's no shortage of sales fares to Europe, but when fares dip below the $250 roundtrip mark, we have to let you know. Here's one of those spectacular unadvertised sale fares from American Airlines. Fly nonstop from New York-JFK to Milan for $236 roundtrip this fall/winter. To snatch this flight deal, look for departures on select Sundays through Wednesdays starting in October. Returns are available Tuesdays through Fridays until April 2020. On American, I found tickets departing Tuesday, November 26, and returning from MXP on Tuesday, December 10, 2019, stretching over Thanksgiving break if you want to have pasta and panettone instead of turkey and pie. Christmas and New Year’s blacked out.

Searching Qatar’s site, I found flights leaving PHL on Monday, October 28 and returning from DPS on Monday, November 11, 2019.

Here’s a pretty primo price linking up two of Southwest’s top focus airports. Fly nonstop from Atlanta to Houston-Hobby for $110 roundtrip this summer or fall. Most seats at this price can be found on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturdays between late July and the end of October. Saturday dates are selling out quickly so you'll have the best luck with the midweek departure days. I was able to find an itinerary in September for this price departing ATL on Wednesday, September 4 and returning from HOU on Saturday, September 7, 2019. As always two bags fly free on Southwest so pack along everything you think you might need to take with you to Texas, ten-gallon hat included.
