$563 from SFO to CDG...Is this too much?
 
I've been searching for flights in 17-27 December and found a non-stop on Delta. I've seen much better pricing advertised, but this is the lowest i've found so far for my dates.

Is this a good fare for that time of year, and if not, where would you suggest I look?

Thanks.

Is that from San Francisco? If so, that's a good price. Sometimes, it can cost that from New York.

Sounds pretty good to me SmileyFace. I just paid $513 from JFK to Florence with a stop over in Paris. WOW AND NON STOP that is GRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAT!!!

Are you concerned about frequent flyer miles. The only reason I say is that mine are on American. I saw a marginally better price for my trip on Orbitz and when I searched through the best airfare search engine on AA.com I could not beat Orbitz but somehow when I did a "schedule" search I got a great price and the all important mileage.

A lot of companies are doing sales with an end purchase date of TODAY. Alitalia is having the best sales but hold up THEY ARE ALITALIA I would spend $200 more just not to fly them. Your trip, Non-Stop pretty good deal I say.

sorry I forgot you were going to France. Of course check out airfrance and Iceland Air (they have been having incredible deals).

I sometimes select an airline by going to smarterliving.com they do last minute specials that clue you into who is cutting rates.

SAS is another for travel to Paris but they have scaled back trips to Paris.

Yes seems that is a good price. There have been sales going on but I just searched a few sites and came up with $565.00 on Delta too.

Hi,

That's a very good price, especially for nonstop.
