If any one is interested, Travelzoo just sent me an email with a one day sale thru Lufthansa to Europe from Texas starting November 8th thru March 31st..........
This sale is for travel between November 8-March 31. Details below..........

Sample fares (each way):
- Dallas-London ... $181
- Houston-Munich ... $227
- Dallas-Frankfurt ... $231
- Houston-Brussels ... $232
- Houston-Dublin ... $232
- Houston-Paris ... $253
- Houston-Madrid ... $253
- Dallas-Rome ... $309
- Dallas-Lisbon ... $310

Sample fares already include the fuel surcharge. Taxes,
fees and airport charges are additional.

When you double these (sample fares: EACH WAY) and then add taxes, are these really that great for the off season?

Don't seem all that good to me - OK for "off the rack" but certainly no big sale.

I just booked SFO/LHR and LHR/FRA/SFO for $411 <u>including all taxes/fees</u> for Feb. The base fare is barely over $100 each way. You'd think from Dallas/Houston you could do better.

janisj,

What dates did you book and with which airline? I am looking to go back to Paris in the spring.

Sorry janisj, just re-read and saw you were traveling in Feb. I was hoping to get a fare close to that for maybe April or May. Do you think it's possible?

Til March you could get that low - but fares usually go up a bit in April, and more in May.

I'd just sign up for the e-mail fare watcher on Orbitz and/or Travelocity. You set a target fare and target dates and they will alert you whenever a deal fits your requirements . . . .

Also in Travelzoo's newsletter dated 11-1-06 is a special 6-day vacation from Houston to Paris for $719 (plus taxes of $120). Dates of departure are Tue.-Thu. between Nov. 5-Dec. 14 and Jan. 4-Mar. 7.

Package includes:

R/T airfare to Paris from Houston
6 nights hotel at Amarys Simart Hotel
Daily breakfast
Hotel taxes and service charges
Airline fuel surcharges
