Summer is peak time for flights across the Atlantic, and prices reflect how many travelers want to visit Europe right now.<\/p>\n

Round-trip economy flights for less than $500 are common in the slower winter months. But if you want to walk the cobbled streets of Rome or take in the sunset on a Greek island this summer, you can expect to pay significantly more than this.<\/p>\n

While redeeming points and miles for long-haul economy flights isn’t usually a great value \u2014 aim for premium cabin redemptions instead \u2014 we are in a time of $1,500 economy flights during a “sold-out summer.<\/a> If taking a stroll past Buckingham Palace or the Eiffel Tower is more important to you than a lie-flat bed, we’ve rounded up the best value economy awards to Europe this summer.<\/p>\n

The Big Three U.S. airline loyalty programs have very low fees, low taxes and good availability for economy class flights to Europe this summer. However, their dynamic pricing means you can expect to pay at least 80,000 points or miles round-trip to Europe \u2014 not a great deal<\/a>. Instead, look at these programs with fixed or more reasonable pricing.<\/p>\n

The good news is these programs partner with several major transferable credit card points currencies, so you have plenty of options to top off your account.<\/p>\n
