What are the cheapest options to fly one-way from Europe to the US?

I am hoping for any suggestions on discount airfares/websites from Europe to the northeastern US. I currently have one flight remaining on a multi-destination ticket that will return me to London from Bangkok. I purchased this ticket because it was significantly cheaper to depart from the UK than the US. At the time I found a really cheap one-way flight to Ireland($235) from Newark, but I am having less luck with a connecting one-way flight home. I don't expect to find such a good deal to return home, but I have a hunch that there are different websites that specialize on travel to the US from Europe than US based websites that offer good deals departing from the US. Since Ryanair has coverage around much of the continent, I am fairly flexible about where I fly from in Europe. I hope to return to the East Coast of the US anywhere between Wash D.C. and Boston-whatever's cheapest ; )

Please share any information and suggestions about this you may have. Thanks for your help.

1. just from what my brothers friend is realizing trying to come to the east coast from japan this time of year. for the friend it is two times the price going one way than it is just to buy a round ticket and only use it to get home. So I would suggest looking at all tickets not only one way.

2. There is a round trip fare special of 199.00 from Halifax to London England going on here in Canada, Why not take that, use it in reverse, and rent a car to cross the line into Maine, USA? It's a breathaking drive you'll not soon forget. Make sure you take in the Southern part of Nova Scotia, particularly Digby... and have the pan seared scallops the size of a childs fist when there. Mmmmm.

3. Suggest you check at

This website lists all budget carriers and charter operators around the world.

4. That's quite a drive from Halifax to Newark. One-way crossborder dropoff fees will kill any savings ($1000 extra wouldn't be unheard of). If you decide to try Canada from the UK, then also check out http://www.canadian-affair.com which have some really cheap one-ways Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, and Montreal.

I live in Europe and have occasional need for one-way tickets, too. Dusseldorf, Madrid, and Ireland almost always come up cheapest -- to NYC (due to airlines LTU, Air Comet, and lots of competition from Eire to NE USA). This is a good tool to start with: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/prego/flexdate_oneway

Also, Globespan are on West Knock to JFK (€229 on 12 June, for example). http://www.flyglobespan.com Also, Liverpool to JFK £169 total on 8 June, for example.

Checking availability, there's not much left as cheap as these from DUS or MAD, so UK/Eire are a much better bet for you finding cheap seats currently. Of course you can always use Ryanair to get to those airports; http://www.ryanair.com
