Fare question - Paris this winter
Forgive me if this is a question that's a pain in the butt but you all are very flight fare savvy!
I want to fly from SFO to Philly for Christmas (see the in-laws), fly from PHL to Paris for several days over New Year's and then back to SF.
I found a fare on Orbitz for $809 (of course almost $300 in taxes and fees on top of that). These are not direct flights - SF to Vegas, Vegas to Philly and then Philly to Paris through Toronto. This is the lowest I've seen so far and the layovers don't seem horrible. Should I wait it out or jump on this? Sorry for the length and thanks in advance!

Don't know if it's still on their website, but Air France WAS showing some fall/winter specials. I hit one for my SFO/CDG, direct flight on Nov second. Round trip, all taxes etc. was 763.00. The cheapest I had seen a couple months before that was a bit over 800.00 and then it went to almost 1,400.00 for a couple of weeks!!!! So you might chech their website and also I signed up for e-mails..fare sale notices.

Hi S,
www.kayak.com has RT SFO/PHL for 244 and RT PHL/CDG for 710. Total $954 including taxes.
You might have to see the in-laws again on the way back, however.
SFO/PHL/CDG/SFO is about $1060.

The holiday period from the weekend prior to Christmas weekend until a bit after New Year's is not likely to be representative of a typical "winter fare". I've sometimes found good deals when a person is willing to fly ON a holiday, such as Christmas. But I fear that the days of sub-$400 fares like Tracy got last year from St. Louis may be a thing of the past.

I did find a one-way to Philly for $215 and then an open jaw PHL-CDG-SFO for $696 all including taxes. And the times were good too...as soon as my husband gets the go-ahead from work, we'll book something like this. Thanks all!
