That's a little cheaper tha anything I could find on sidestep.com, farechase.com, itasoftware.com (although I didn't use the 30-day search), or onetravel.com
Will that fare go down? Unfortunately, nobody can predict that for sure..if they could, everyone would be waiting.

The "problem" is, of course, the "market" you are in, i.e., DFW to anywhere and the amount of competition on that route.
It isn't as if you were traveling from somewhere like New York or even Dulles where there are a lot more airlines flying to Paris.

If you go to www.itasoftware.com and choose the "month long" serach feature and then input Jun 30 as the starting date you'll see that fares range from $1423 to $1429 for the entire month of July.

Hi M,
You are going in high season. That's about what you can expect.
If you could change to after Labor Day, you would save about $500 pp.
See www.mobissimo.com and www.kayak.com.

As everyone says, you're in high season and flying on a weekend. BUT if there is anyway to move your plans up about a month, Lufthansa just announced fares of, for ex, DFW - FRA for $351 OW (IAH - FRA is only $276). Have to start travel by 5/15 and return by 6/17.

I'm reading your post, shortly after doing a post of my own titled "Sticker shock" - I think this year airfares are just higher and sales difficult to find. I am finding fares of $1500 and up for the dates / cities I wanted (ATL to MXP then BCN to ATL) "I feel your pain"
