Delta is putting a few cities in Europe on sale starting around $500. Most are in the $600s.

Here’s what we found:

• Dublin [DUB]
• Shannon [SNN]
• Madrid [MAD]
• Barcelona [BCN]
• Lisbon [LIS]
• Prague [PRG]
• Budapest [BUD]
• Athens [ATH]
• There could be others, this is based on our quick check.

Not all of the above is available from every departure city. We checked availability from all The Flight Deal and Fare Deal Alert coverage cities, and these fares are available from them all. We believe this is a nationwide sale. So check your city for availability.

Thanks to Michael for the tip.
