Guru’s Wrap-Up
These are some great prices, but you must book a return leg as well so make sure you check prices and see if it makes sense for you. I didn’t really check much since I wanted to put this out before the seats are gone. From a quick look round-trip prices should be a bit over $300, which is pretty good for summer travel to Europe.
Don’t forget to use a credit card that will give you the most points, such as Amex Platinum (5x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Reserve (3x on travel) or Citi Prestige (3x on airfare). You can also use travel credit from your Citi Prestige or the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
