United strikes back DFW, PHX, CLT, PHL to Barcelona $388, Madrid $393, Helsinki $421, Manchester $430

[These fares appear to already be gone. That was quick! AA fares gone too today.]

United strikes back at American Airlines after AA posted low fares from United hubs to Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia and Switzerland last night. In the last few hours United and Star Alliance carriers posted low fares in the high $300s and low $400s from American Airlines hubs: Charlotte CLT, Dallas DFW,  Philadelphia PHL, Phoenix PHX to Madrid and Barcelona (Iberia territory), Manchester UK (British Airways) and Helsinki, Finland (Finnair).

Departures are between September and April 2017, depending on route. Dates are different depending on route, but most routes have dozens of low fare dates.

Here are fares I have found. I’ll post this with the data I have and add more as I research the different routes. Since this is a fare war attack between American and United, these fares could go away at any moment.
