Qatar Airways, a 5 star airline, is offering fares to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid or Milan for ~$1278, Rome $1304, Paris $1321 and Frankfurt for $1333. Flights are around May-June which is a great time to visit Europe. Flights include bags and food. All flights have a short layover in Doha.
Skyscanner is pulling up some of the cheap flights but you can see the cheap flights on Google Flights by navigating through their calendar. However, if you are paying with a Mastercard, it may be worth it to book directly as Qatar are offering up to 15% off using code MASTERCARD.
Next best prices for most of these routes are about $300+ more for the exception of Paris where Air China offers a similar fare.
