  • For this destination, it is cost-effective to book tickets 3–4 months before departure, as prices for transatlantic flights increase significantly closer to the travel date.
  • Use the price trend chart on this page: in February, you can find offers starting $499, which is well below the annual average.
  • Pay attention to baggage policies — on long-haul routes, booking a fare with a checked bag included in advance is cheaper than paying for excess weight at the check-in counter.
