We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.United has jumped on the Paris airfare sale while Oneworld carriers have expanded their deals to other Northern European destinations. Deals are available from most major cities across the US to Paris (CDG), Brussels (BRU), Copenhagen (CPH) and Oslo (OSL) with prices starting at $312 round-trip.Note that many deals are in basic economy — so you’ll have to forgo a free checked bag and upgrade eligibility. However, you can combat the negative aspects of basic economy by using a carrier’s co-branded credit card.If you’re looking for something else to do in Paris, check out Get Your Guide’s list of best activities in Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen and Oslo to maximize your time while on vacation.To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities.
