A crash course in how to fly from the US to Europe for under $200

Hey, blog-o-pals! I thought I would make a nice user-friendly basic guide on how to fly between Europe and the US for under $200 each way, s...

This is not a drill. Europe to/from Bangkok or Malaysia for $196 one way.

Hey, blogopals! I'm not quite sure what's going on, but it involves $196 flights one-way (or twice that, round trip) between Berlin, Hamburg, and Dresden, and Bangkok (or just a bit more for all sorts of European cities, including Prague and Barcelona).


Now, if you keep a close eye on this blog and on Secretflying.com, you know that there are often round trip flight sales from Europe to Asia, but those sales never seem to work one-way: it may be $500 round trip from Beijing to Rome, but $800 one-way! This is great if all you want to do is visit that one city, but it doesn't really fit a lot of people's needs, when you're tied down to that one city. That's why this deal is SO MEGA AWESOME - You can fly into Berlin, spend as long as you want, then fly out of any other city. (Note: Vietnam Air is also offering $222 one-way flights between Malaysia and London!) 

Here are some ideas of other fun one-ways, with approximate prices (one-way prices, of course):

Berlin, Hamburg or Dresden to/from Bangkok with Eurowings: $196 (in Thai baht thb)

Cologne, Prague, Zagreb, Barcelona, Milan, and more to/from Bangkok with Eurowings: about $210-260

London Heathrow to/from Bangkok with Malaysia Airlines: $263

London Heathrow to/from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Vietnam Airlines: $222

Either Eurowings, a German airline, is having a massive yet unadvertised sale, or that is just what their prices are and I never thought to look before. I'm thiiiinking it's a sale, as these prices are insanely low, and a lot of the routes seem to just be starting up in a couple months, but who knows? Life is a mystery. It seems to be cheaper to book in Thai baht rather than euros or dollars, which it automatically does if you're flying from Bangkok. I'm going to pounce on this right away to make sure it doesn't get away, but I'll keep an eye on it and let y'all know if this is the normal price or what.

Tip: Use the Eurowings low-fare calendar to find your route!
