I would imagine it would either be Heathrow (london) or Schipol (amsterdam) as they are both major transit airports, therefore get more flights going there therefore the tickets should be a little cheaper

Lisbon is Europe's second-oldest capital and once house to the world's best explorers like Vasco da Gama, Magellan and Prince Henry the Navigator, becoming the initial correct earth town, the capital of an empire spreading total continents, from South America (Brazil) to Asia (Macao, China; Goa, India) and know you can spend a few time to understand that old town, with hotelbye is where you need to start. Probably the most acknowledged of Lisbon's important attractions could be the St. George's Castle. This fortress instructions a glorious position near Alfama on the top of a mountain overlooking the Portuguese capital. This is certainly one of Lisbon's most widely used tourist destinations. Its amazing battlements, interesting memorial, and interesting archaeological website combine to make the fort a rewarding experience for the whole family, and kids especially will like clambering on the tough walls and systems that encircle the grounds.

The best thing to do would be to search for airfared to any European city and see which airline(s) consistantly offer the lowest rates. You will normally find the best rates during the week (Monday - Thursday).
Then go to those airline's websites and see if they have any special fares to Europe. Usually specials run for a few months, so you should still be able to book well in advance.
You will likely see some fares for $200 or less (sometimes as low as $99, although I've never seen that price for western US cities). Keep in mind that these fares almost never include applicable taxes, which are significant. You will have to go at least partly through the booking process to see the final price.
Good luck!

Two years ago I flew from Chicago to Europe. The cheapest destination in Europe was Heathrow in London. I would imagine it would be the same.
You have to be careful, though, London is VERY expensive. If you are trying to see all of Europe using a Europass(train pass), I would fly to the continent as Great Britain does not participate in that program.
If you want to travel to one location, fly there directly.
There are some discount airlines in Europe that enable you to fly all over Europe for pretty cheap. Try www.ryanair.com

Well, the Westernmost, Southernmost (and presumably closest) Western European major city to America would probably be Lisbon in Portugal or Madrid in Spain. Portugal and Spain are some of the more affordable Western European countries. Ask your local travel agent for accurate advice.

Your best regular fare will be to London (which is the most expensive city in Europe), but you can find better deals to other cities as well if you can wait and look around. Of course with a group of people that might not be the best plan, many can't wait for the last minute plans these types of deals require.

Heathrow and Schipol are usually the cheapest. Virgin has a good service to Heathrow. Once in Europe you can fly BMI to different destinations, sometimes for almost nothing -- I got a flight from Belgium to Italy for a nickel once. Skyscanner.net is a good place to search for flights within Europe.

London? Its liberal city like SF but much busier than laidback SF.
It is also a good connection point for using low cost airlines to European destinations.
