Exploring the Surge in Affordable Flights from the U.S. to Europe

Flights between the U.S. and Europe are at their cheapest in three years, with average fares dropping to $578 in November, according to Hopper. This decrease is attributed to airlines increasing capacity to meet post-pandemic demand and the traditionally slow travel season. While U.S. domestic fares remain high due to reduced flights and aircraft scarcity, European travel sees discounts as airlines try to fill seats in the offseason. Airlines are also expanding routes to less traditional destinations to maintain interest and profitability.
