average airfare price from boston to europe

During high season, round-trip flights from Boston to Europe are expensive. stretches from June through August. Not only are flights between North America and Europe more expensive during this period, but they appear, if anything, to be getting more pricey.

This past summer, one EuroCheapo staff member flew from New York to Athens in mid-July and then back home from Madrid in early August. His ticket ran $1200, despite the fact that he flew both directions on a Saturday.
Another member of the office flew roundtrip from New York to London in May. London is traditionally one of the least expensive European destinations from North America, average airfare price from boston to europe a $500 roundtrip was a real bargain.British Airways has the most nonstop flights between Boston, MA and London, GB.
BMI has 1 nonstop flights between Boston, MA and London, GB.
177 flights per week fly out of Boston, MA connecting to London, GB
The smallest aircraft operated by KLM flying between Boston, MA and London, GB is a CRJ with 76 seats.
New York, NY is the most popular connection for one stop flights between Boston, MA and London, GB.

Timing is everything in this example. May is before the summer season; mid-July through early August is the height of summer season. But consider May as a travel month. Much of Europe is warm and inviting. The most popular cities and the most engaging sites are not yet swarming with tourists.

And while you're at it, consider a wintertime trip to Europe. Traditionally, January and February witness the very best transatlantic airfare pricing all year round. Yes, it will be cold in much of Europe, but with low-season hotel rates throughout Europe (barring beach and ski resorts) you'll save money and appreciate Europe in the off season.
