There are some new fares in the low to mid-$500s from American/British Airways from Washington IAD and DCA to Luxembourg City, Manchester, UK and Bordeaux, France that were not around two days ago when I posted deals on AA/DL/UA to many cities in Europe.

The fares to Luxembourg City and Bordeaux BOD are not matched by Star Alliance or SkyTeam, but only available for departures from November 29 – December 15.

Bordeaux, France
American Airlines Washington IAD to Bordeaux is as low as $549 round trip, but that fare looks like it forces a change of airport between London Gatwick and London Heathrow. To avoid a London changeover, there is a flight From Washington IAD to Bordeaux via Miami flying AA to Madrid, then flying Iberia Airlines from Madrid to Bordeaux.
