In what seemed like a carefully orchestrated and synchronized move, major airlines have cut Europe fares by 20% or more for fall travel. Late Tuesday afternoon, Europe flights were nearly $1,000 from top East Coast cities, but by Wednesday morning these fares dropped.
Since then, top airlines serving Europe including Delta, American, Iberia, KLM and British Airways have launched advertised sales. This has caused a chain reaction of other carriers attempting to keep pace with the low prices.
