American and United Airlines going all out in a European fare war with cheap tickets from each other’s hub cities to European cities during the months of September-December. This means American are lowing the prices for their flights on United’s hubs of Cleveland, Denver, Newark, San Francisco, and Washington DC/IAH. As well as United is lowing their prices for their flights on American hub’s such as Charlotte, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Most of these deals will be available on Priceline. They’re lowering many flights to Europe, so take advantage of this deal!
We recommend you look up your preferred dates on Google Flights in case there is a cheaper price then the ones we listed. Depending where you are flying from, the prices can change, but we found that traveling from Newark to Lisbon to be the cheapest, but that can always change! (YMMV) The airline fares rules associated with your flight and be reviewed over pre-purchase, on your contract, and post purchase with the itinerary displayed on their website, be sure you read their full terms before making your purchase.
Editor Note: Rumors are going around that Delta is trying to compete as well, so don’t be shy to check their price in case they’re lower!
