How To Get The Cheapest Airfare (Transatlantic Roundtrip for $425) A Real Example. I travel full time. 365 days a year. On the road. In planes, trains and automobiles. I love it and need to start using this blog to share tips and secrets on how you can travel more too. Since I started tracking miles with Tripit I’ve traveled 713,490 miles. Over the years I have developed quite a few airfare hacks / have been doing it so much I think I’m skilled. I do a lot of work in Europe (thanks to the amazing HackFwd). I think most business travelers would say “Sunday, I need to be home on Sunday” and book the $1177 one way, or even worse the $1999 direct flight.
Now if you are experienced flier you are thinking one of two things: 1) Buy a round trip, it will be cheaper! And you, for this trip, would be wrong. 1) Round trip between these two destinations doesn’t save much. $982 for round trip isn’t exactly cheap. Notice the 20,000 miles is from Europe to the US and can be anywhere in the US, including a stopover. So what did I do?
