American Airlines deals to Europe: Fly to Dublin, London and other cities from $371 round-trip
The fare sales to Europe continue as American Airlines has slashed prices on flights to some of the most popular overseas destinations. We found some great itineraries in this sale for less than $400 round-trip. If you've been thinking of visiting Athens, Greece, and soaking in its abundance of history and culture, or if it's time to scratch Dublin off your travel bucket list, start packing your bags.
London, Stockholm and Zurich are among the other cities you can fly to for less thanks to this deal. Departure cities include American hubs like Charlotte, Dallas and Miami, as well as New York and Philadelphia.
This deal is for the carrier's basic economy tier, which on American means you get a free carry-on and, depending on status, you can also check up to two bags. Most of the lowest-priced itineraries include a layover, but we spotlight a couple of routes that you can book nonstop. The travel window is fairly generous, running all the way to May of next year. The deadline to book your fares is Sept. 18.

Sample flights
We found some terrific deals on flights to Athens from Boston. This November itinerary from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Athens International Airport (ATH) is available for just $371 round-trip. That's an excellent price for this route, even with a layover each way.

We also found great prices on flights from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) to ATH in November — including this itinerary at just $424 round-trip. Oh, did we mention it's also a nonstop?

Here's another fantastic southern Europe itinerary: American has nonstop flights out of Miami International Airport (MIA) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) from $423 round-trip. That's a great price for this route, and there's a good amount of inventory at this price on fall travel dates.

You can still get in on the action if you're on the West Coast, with itineraries like this one out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) in December for only $427 round-trip. This route has a layover in Helsinki each way — but at that low price, it's well worth it.

Maximize your purchase

One of my favorite things to do when I'm bargain shopping for flights is to check Google Flights and see what the route I'm interested in typically sells for. For the PHL-ATH offer we mentioned above, this is what the site told me:

That gives you an idea of how fantastic some of the fares in this deal are. As always with sales like this, the faster you book, the better your chances of scoring the best possible price.
