I stumbled upon this and thought it was worth sharing - SAS is offering surprisingly competitive fares from New York to Nice, France, starting at $445 for Basic Economy or $598 for Regular Economy roundtrip. For anyone who's been eyeing the French Riviera, this is significantly lower than the usual $800-1000 range we typically see on this route. The deal seems to be available through their main booking platform, though you might need to play around with dates a bit.
What makes this particularly interesting is the timing. With Nice being a gateway to both the French Riviera and northern Italy, this could be a fantastic opportunity for shoulder season travel when the Mediterranean is still lovely but less crowded. While Basic Economy comes with restrictions, even the Regular Economy fare at $598 is quite reasonable for this route. Just keep in mind that Nice's airport can get quite busy during peak seasons, so plan your connections carefully. What's your take on this situation?
