Escape to Europe without the high price tag thanks to this flash sale from Norse Atlantic Airways. This low-cost Norwegian airline is offering one-way flights for as low as $99 to popular European destinations, including London, Paris and Rome.

The flash sale ends July 25, though, so you’ll want to book as soon as you can.

Sample flights

• John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to LGW, starting at $129 one-way
• JFK to Oslo Airport (OSL), starting at $129 one-way

If you want to capitalize on a rare $99 ticket from Boston to London, consider this flight on Sept. 15. It’s a nonstop, overnight journey, so you’ll technically arrive in the morning on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Returning flights aren’t as low as $99. However, they’re only about $100 more, which is still a great deal on a flight back from Europe. For example, if you return on Sept. 23, as shown above, you’ll pay just $197. This brings your round-trip total to $296.
