Air fares to Europe in August

It has been a few years since I have gone to Europe without using FF miles and I am having a little sticker shock. From Kansas City to London in early to mid August, the cheapest I am seeing is over $1,650 round trip.

I was expecting something about $1,250.

Does anyone have a feel for the current trend in fares? Am I likely to see some deals as we get closer to summer or is this about as good as it is likely to get?

Thanks!

Keith

Try looking at Dublin - I can see various Aer Lingus round trips (United from MCI to ORD) for $1097 in early August. Use Ryanair or BA or anybody else for the final leg; allow yourself extra time if traveling on separate tickets.

If you can wait until late August you can find plenty of connections in the $1200 range, according to www.itasoftware.com

Unfortunately the trip has to include being in London August 14-18, so I have to pick dates that have those days somewhere in the 10-12 days.

Thank you for the Ireland sugestion Gardyloo!

I received an email from United today about a summer airfare sale to Europe. You might take a look at what they have.
