*high season* Europe in $510s-$590s RT from the USA

Sitting at home, doomscrolling through Instagram, drowning in FOMO as your friends flex their Euro-summer glow-up? "Who's that new guy? What's in that drink? And why is everyone always on Vespas?"

Yeah, NO. Not on my watch!

I've just spent the last few hours scouring every corner of the web for the best last-minute summer deals. Spoiler alert: there's a lot, and my laptop's just about ready to file for vacation days. 

Below you'll find the best routes. What's my criteria? Glad you asked:

Top-Notch Airlines: No knee-cap sacrifices here—only full-service airlines make the cut.

Carry-On Inclusive: Must include carry-on —yes, you can entirely survive with a carry-on only, take a look at our team's best packing hacks. 

Rare Routes: Most of these routes haven’t popped up in over 200 days. And there's some seriously rare routes. Salzburg, Split, Sarajevo we're looking at you!

Lots of Dates: I’ve hunted down routes with the most dates available, but don’t wait too long—these could vanish at any time. 

Dreamy Spots: Sun-drenched beaches, relaxed mountain retreats, captivating historical cities, and unique off-the-radar spots — there's a little something for every type of traveler. 

Speaking of off the radar, why not fly to Tirana and head for the Albanian Riviera? With any luck, you'll bump into some of the JFC team after wrapping up their treasure-hunt-style race across Europe.

I'm sure if you asked nicely, they'll make some room on their beach towels :-)
