One-way flights from the USA to Europe are currently particularly cheap to book with Oneworld (American or British Airways) and SkyTeam (Delta, Air France, KLM). This might be useful as part of a round-the-world trip, or if you booked a business class outbound flight using miles and still need a way to get back to Europe.
In any case, tickets are available from numerous US cities for prices between €170 and €210. These include four airports in Hawaii, several West Coast destinations, and even numerous regional airports throughout the country.
However, checked luggage costs extra. You can either book the standard fare (which includes other benefits) for an additional €85, or pay €64 at check-in. Status holders receive at least one free checked bag with all airlines except BA, even when booking the Light fare.
The prices from Hawaii are particularly interesting, as the distance covers half the globe:
- Honolulu → Oslo from €188
- Kauai → Barcelona from €190
- Kona → Barcelona from €190
- Kona → Paris from €190
- Honolulu → Hamburg from €203
- Maui → Berlin from €203

The fare rules do not state how long these prices will last. However, two weeks ago prices were significantly higher, as shown by the price history on Google Flights (Honolulu – Oslo):

Editor’s Note: There’s quite a variety of origins to cross the pond for little money.

With these flights, you can complete a round-the-world trip for around €700 if you have flexibility.
