Be sure to look into this offer beyond the highlighted itineraries since there are, as previously indicated, flights to the aforementioned locations departing from Boston, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Houston.


Start by using Google Flights to do a search from your starting point and final destination, as I have done with a search from New York to Amsterdam, in order to reserve this offer. 
When you find a ticket that fits your schedule, I suggest making a direct reservation with the airline, even if doing so results in a marginally higher cost, as it does for this particular route. 


Consider that while making travel plans since many of the planes included in this bargain, including this one, will have at least one layover.
Some layovers are considerably easier to handle than others, like as this one-hour stopover in Dublin Airport (DUB). 


The most limited economy fare offered by the carrier, in this case Aer Lingus' saver fare, will have the lowest flight prices.
These rates price between $25 and $65 for checked bags, depending on size, but include one carry-on bag. 


Although baggage costs differ by airline, you should budget an additional $27 to $75 per bag each way in addition to the fare. 


Enhance your purchase 

If you book this offer, use a credit card that offers bonus points on airfare purchases, such as The Platinum Card® from American Express (5 points per dollar on airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel on up to $500,000 in purchases made on these terms each calendar year) or the Citi Prestige® Card (which also gives you 5 points per dollar on airfare).
Consider the Citi Premier® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or American Express® Gold Card for 3 points for $1 spent on airfare (when booking directly with airlines on Amex Travel).
For two points for every dollar spent on travel, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. 


In conclusion 


In any case, a $500 round-trip airfare from the United States to Europe is a terrific deal, especially since that the dollar is still so strong against the euro.


With this offer, you can not only save money on your travel but also apply those savings once you have arrived in Europe.
Some of these flights only have a few tickets left, according to my test search for this article, so be sure to reserve soon if you're interested.
