The first step in finding cheap airline flights from the US to Europe is to know your hubs. As in America, different European airports are simply cheaper to fly into. For instance, flying into Frankfurt or Munich is much cheaper than flying into Berlin. Flying into London instead of Paris will also be a cheap ticket by comparison. You’ll save money flying to a major hub in Amsterdam, rather than a smaller airport in Prague. For a list of low-cost airline hubs, visit www.wikitravel.org/en/discount_airlines_in_europe.
