Cheap airfare FROM France
 
Does anyone know of an internet site to get cheap airfare RT from France to the US? I'm trying to help out a friend, but I can't find any good deals using the consolidator's sites for the US.
Thanks!

Does Nouvelles Frontières still exist? If so, check them out.

Thanks so much...i am checking them out right now....

Try www.mobissimo.com as well...it is an aggregator site which may give you a greater range of fares to choose from.

Nouvelles Frontieres is a good idea, you could also check www.opodo.fr which is a French airline search website.

Hi T,

Also try http://airtravelcenter.com/onetrav.htm

They quote rates to as well as from the US.

Oddly enough, They gave me a lower rate for a RT BOS/BRU than for BRU/BOS.

Thanks so much to everyone! I'm using all the sites suggested. I hope that I find something...seems like the prices in Feb are outrageous...***sigh***

What city pair and what dates? I'm seeing CDG-NYC prices for arbitrary February dates in the US$390-$430 range. Doesn't sound that bad to me.

Toulouse to PDX (Portland OR)
11 feb to 24 or 25 feb.
the cheapest i've found is $702 US

Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad rate. I don't think you'll be able to do much better than that, given the two cities in your itinerary. You *might* find some cheaper flights from Paris to PDX, but then you have to figure out how to get to CDG from Toulouse.
Our cheapest transatlantic flights to/from PDX were with Air Canada and NW. Neither were happy experiences, but they were the cheapest (delayed flights, lost luggage, poor service).
