Great fares, but we can't go until March. I think it's great that you posted this information while it's still timely.

Hey JD,

I'm also looking for a deal from Dallas in March . . . if you see anything, would you please post it?

I received notice of 2/1 Lufthansa, must buy by Oct 31 but there are 3 of us and it won't work.

Thanks,
Sandy (your neighbor in Denton)

dallas. US Airways has some pretty decent fares to select cities in Europe through March. I checked Dallas to Paris and the fare is $322 plus tax.
Hope this helps

Thanks Sher . . . I put in my dates (Thurs-Sun week) and the fare was over $800! I'd better keep looking!

Sandy. Did you try the search by price. Maybe you can adjust your dates by one or two days.
I did notice that the sale fares only extended to days Mon-Thurs and not the weekends.
Good luck.

The USAirways sale thru March was good, but I started trying dates about 5 hours after it was posted last Fri (fromn PIT)., and there was, for example, 1 day left between now and end of March for the lowest fare. And today there are virtually no days for any of the reduced fares. Maybe it's different from your city, but that's my experience from here. I think we missed the boat this time around!

Grandmere. Sometimes I have better luck booking fares on US Airways through Orbitz then directly on the US Airways site.
The last flight I booked to New York I could not bring up on the US Airways site, but was able to book it through Orbitz. This also happened when we wanted to travel to France in August.
I have no idea why this glitch occurs sometimes.
Check the flights on US Airways and if they say they are sold out, try another site immediately. I have had to do this twice for my last four flights.
