I will be booking a trip from Europe to the US. While it's a vanilla roundtrip airfare from major cities, it seems neither Priceline nor Orbitz can handle a trip beginning outside the USA.
Any suggestions on good websites that can do this booking?

I have had good luck using travelocity for europe flights - or a discount carrier's (like Ryan Air) own site for certain routes.
If you will be originating in the UK try priceline.uk

Several.
travelocity.co.uk
travelocity.de
no prizes for guessing who they are related to
expedia.co.uk
opodo.com (European version of Orbitz)
There are also many other booking agencies such as lastminute.com, deckchair.com (started & used to be owned (still is?) by Bob Geldof), ebookers.com, Kuoni, trailfinders andothers. There is also one affiliated with Business Traveller. You can find that through btonline.com

the best to start with is www.netflights.com (http://www.netflights.com)
use the search full fare list with avail. function. once you have found a matching pair of avail flights move onto www.ebookers.com, (http://www.ebookers.com,) www.flights.com (http://www.flights.com) used to be good but haven't used it for awhile, gives europe wide prices from most departures.
the following are mainly for the cheaper airlines.
also try www.skyscanner.com (http://www.skyscanner.com) and www.openjet.com (http://www.openjet.com)
also the new www.moneysupermarket.com (http://www.moneysupermarket.com) has a cheap flights search engine.
www.deckchair (http://www.deckchair) and www.travelselect (http://www.travelselect) are owned by www.lastminute.com (http://www.lastminute.com)
if you need more - give me an idea of where you want to go.
