Europe Summer Flights 2023

Best Days to Fly to Europe This Summer

It's going to be another extremely busy season for Europe travel. And with that enthusiasm for Europe comes high prices for visiting our friends across the pond.

Airfares are projected to be about 25% more than they were last year on average. To avoid sticker shock, we recommend buying as early as you can to save some cash. Silver lining: the dollar reached parity for the first time in 20 years last year. The exchange rate is still quite favorable to the dollar.

Looking for a summer deal to Europe? Look later in the summer. June, July and early August will be expensive.

Use our helpful data charts to quickly identify how airfares are trending and to know when to buy for the best prices. You'll also want to use our simple calendar to highlight the least and most expensive days to fly. With this handy explainer, you'll book your summer flights to Europe with confidence.
