When the first settlers traveled from Europe to America, it took them three to six months to cross the Atlantic. Since then, mankind has steadily whittled down the voyage so that now you barely have time to finish the in-flight movie before you're back on terra firma.
But unfortunately improving the journey time has often come at a great cost, and we mean that literally! Transatlantic flights don't come cheap, so trips to Europe are still reserved for special occasions like honeymoons or retirement.
That is, until now. Currently, Norwegian Airlines is offering 1-way flights to Europe at an unbelievably low starting price of $153.10! That saves a whopping $1,815 on select routes and brings the idea of a European vacation from exotic fantasy to affordable practicality. Of course Norwegian Airlines specializes in flights to Norway and other Scandinavian destinations, but we found price lows on major European capitals like London too. Book by July 29 to snap up a trip back to the old world.
