Amazing $63 Fare From the US to Europe With Cheap Deals from New York/DC/Boston

Like Norwegian and Wow Air , Primera offers super cheap fares across the Atlantic, they're helping to drive down prices overall, and there are add-on fees for anything you may want on board whether it's advance seat assignments or beverages.

For the passenger just looking to get on a plane, unconcerned with seat assignment, Primera can be even cheaper than the bigger transatlantic discounters. Right now they have flights from the U.S. to Europe from an absurdly low $63.

While passengers urinating on seat opponents doesn't happen frequently compared to the number of flights and number of passengers each year, it happens frequently enough to make me wonder whether an airline would attract business by requiring passengers to certify that they're potty trained, and to blow into a breathalyzer at the boarding gate.

I absolutely hate fuel surcharges. They're a scam which is basically just a tax on frequent flyers' loyalty. On some itineraries they can amount to $1000 roundtrip. Although bear in mind that you may pay lower fuel surcharges when you book two one way awards than a roundtrip.

When I'm in an absolute pinch I can talk myself into paying fuel surcharges for a first class award. I think of it as a discount coach ticket which doesn't earn points but where I'm spending miles for a confirmed triple upgrade.

Great Award Availability If You Want to Shower in the Sky: Emirates First Class, Many Cities

Emirates has one of the world's best first class products. Their business class wouldn't come close to ranking, and their new first class is only on a limited number of planes. But their decade-old first class, while a bit tight on space for its fully enclosed suites with doors, is still a marvel with great amenities, good alcohol and catering, and generally good service.

It's very very available using miles. Perhaps that's because there are so many first class seats on so many flights and very few people know how to redeem for these seats at a reasonable price.
