Flights to Paris
 
Does anyone have suggestions on places to fine good fares to Paris from US?

From what city? When? Any particular airline(s)?

LA or San Diego, July 23 to the 30 any airlines.
Thanks!

You may try posting this on the airline board to get help. Have you tried sidestep.com or kayak.com?

If your dates are set you are probably stuck w/ what you can get. Both of those are Sundays and usually more expensive than mid week flights. Plus it is very high season.

The best I found is 1370.00. Not to bad!
Thanks for the help

I've also been looking for fares for November. I want SFO to CDG non-stop. There aren't a lot of choices. So far I'm looking at 1,000. Seems only Delta or Air France offer non-stop. I'm willing to pay a bit more to get that. I see fares in the 700.00 range with one or two stops with some only allowing 35 minutes or so between planes. That's nuts as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to book directly with the airline when I do, not going through third party. I checked Expidia just to get a lot of airlines, flights, and prices listed and they weren't any better than just going to the airline. I'm finding a zillion flights to London non-stop, but not many to Paris. Interesting. Also, a lot of the fares are listed exclusive of taxes and other fees and those can mount up considerably. So, I'm going to keep checking for a bit and see what happens. Of course they could go up.

Re. the impossibly short connection times on those $700 flights (as oppoed to $1400):

If it's the same airline for both legs, or a through-booked ticket with a partner airline, just count on not making it and realize that they will have to put you on the next flight that has a seat open. You can already scope out what flight(s) that might be and plan accordingly - if it saves you 700 bucks, what's the problem?
