The Points Collector: Chicago to Scandinavia $303+ Round Trip Departures Thru Early May 2019

**This is cheaper than flying to Florida for spring break!**

March/April 2019 flights are wide open from Chicago to Oslo Norway (OSL) and Copenhagen Denmark (CPH). Other European cities also available for slightly more $
Prices on Google Flights, with links to book directly with the airlines, are as low as $327.
Searching on Momondo and booking with smaller online travel agencies, the prices can be as low as $303 to CPH and $310 to OSL.
Cheapest flights are on Star Alliance carriers - Swiss International Air Lines (Swiss) and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). Some of the fares are even nonstop.
SkyTeam alliance airlines (e.g. Delta, Air France, KLM) and OneWorld alliance airlines (e.g. American, British Airways) also have fares under $400 as well, with 1 or 2 stops each way.
At these low prices, many of the flights are basic economy (typically: checked bags not included, no advance seat assignment, elite status flyers not eligible for complimentary upgrades, etc).
Regular economy unfortunately costs a LOT more on many of these flights - approx $180 more on SkyTeam. One of the flights on American Airlines was $260 more in regular economy than basic economy!

Search on Google Flights to find cheap flights based on preferred dates, trip duration, etc.

If you are feeling adventurous, search on Momondo.com and book thru an OTA to save $30-70 vs. booking directly with an airline.

Book now, think later! You have 24 hours to cancel with no penalty.

Secret Flying reported these deals yesterday, and prices seem to have dropped after they posted, so the cheap seats will be selling out very fast.

Prices increase to mid $400s after May 8 departures, but the cheap flights are widely available in March and April. January and February are much more scattered availability at the cheapest prices.
