Summer is the peak time for flights across the Atlantic, and prices reflect how many travelers want to visit Europe<\/a> in the sunshine.<\/p>\n

Round-trip economy flights for less than $400<\/a> are common in the slower winter months. However, if you want to walk the cobblestone streets of Rome<\/a> or take in the sunset on a Greek island next summer, you can expect to pay significantly more than this.<\/p>\n

While redeeming points and miles for long-haul economy flights isn’t usually a great value \u2014 aim for premium cabin redemptions instead \u2014 $1,500 round-trip economy flights next summer are not unusual.<\/p>\n

If taking a stroll past Buckingham Palace or the Eiffel Tower is more important to you than scoring a lie-flat bed, we’ve rounded up the best value economy award options for travel to Europe.<\/p>\n

Loyalty programs for the “Big Three” U.S. airlines \u2014 American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines \u2014 have low fees, low taxes and good availability for economy class flights to Europe this summer. However, their dynamic pricing means you can expect to pay at least 80,000 points or miles round trip to Europe, which is not a great deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead, look at programs with fixed or more reasonable pricing.<\/p>\n

The good news is these programs partner with several major transferable credit card points currencies, so you have plenty of options to top off your account.<\/p>\n
