My flight search trick for getting to Europe for under $400 round trip
I was trying to get to Lisbon next fall and every search from my home airport was over $800. I read about searching for flights to a bigger hub first, then booking a separate cheap local flight. I flew into London Gatwick for $315 on Norse Atlantic, then grabbed a $45 Ryanair hop to Lisbon. Total was $360, saving me over $400. Has anyone else tried this 'hub and spoke' method for other places?

The Points Guy blog said Norse Atlantic often has those cheap Gatwick fares.

Yeah but you're forgetting the extra time and stress of two separate bookings lol. That cheap Ryanair hop can cost you way more if your first flight gets delayed.
