Just remember US has a bunch of seasonal (generally April/May - September/October) flights to some cities in Europe, such as BCN, GLA, ATH, LIS and VCE (and MAD and DUB from CLT, yearround from PHL). These won't show up in searches in March but would be reachable on partner airlines, such as Lufthansa, BMI, SAS, SpanAir, etc. To book partners you'd need to call; to see availability without a call you can use the ANA tool.
