Good Airfares from US to Europe this Fall?
 

Thinking ahead to next season: has anyone seen any good fares to Europe, Sept-Dec.? Any predictions about whether they will be higher/lower than we've seen in past? Seems that summer has been high, altho some deals in May; I went PIT-CDG for $477,USAirways, mid-May, which seemed good for this year.

We are getting read to click the button on a fare from San Francisco to Paris on 9/26/02 returning 10/8/02 for $504 roundtrip per person.<BR><BR>I thought that was pretty good.

That does sound great! What airline?

If you see a good airfare, grab it. We bought our tix Chicago to Paris at $400 r/t each, for the last week of October. 2 days later the fare had shot up to $900 each...for the same flights. Finally, impulse buying paid off!!

Sue,<BR>Got a great fare from JFK to Heathrow early October on United Airlines. $331 RT! Right from United's website. I grabbed it!. The prices have gone up since then, but a little checking in now and then does not hurt.

Wow, I was so impressed by what I read, I went into USArwys site, and came up with $822+ for those dates. It's the only direct here from PIT. Oh, well, it may come down later on, too! Glad to hear some of you are getting good fares!

I've been really discouraged by the high airfares for October, also. I want to go Chicago to London, but would do DC, Newark or Phila. I check several sites nightly, but can't get below around $660. I should have jumped on Orbitz's offer of United out of JFK for around $340 in early May, but don't have FF miles--STUPID!<BR><BR>Hope someone posts if they find something good.

I got $525 from NYC to Prague - direct - Czech airlines - for October. And for Dubrovnik - with one connection through London - $480 - in the beginning of September.

The flight we're going to click on will not tell us the airlines until we buy, but I went into United's site to see what they had so I could at least accumulate miles. They have the exact same departing time and arriving time from and to the exact same place, so it's a pretty good bet that the $504 is on United. United's price? $1,008.

Did not like the looks of the fares for fall myself, so I went to Priceline. Got ATL-CDG for $300 in early October. The best part is direct flights on Delta both ways. I've always had to make at least one connection with Priceline in the past.Whoopee!!

In March we paid approx. $600/pp RT from San Francisco to CDG on Lufthansa and for travel in October. I thought at that time we should have waited for a better fare but I'm glad that we didn't. This year it seems like there aren't many good airfare deals for fall.

You always have to be on the lookout. At Hotwire I got a rountrip from Honolulu to CDG this September for $825.00 and two days later the exact same flight was $1900.00 Go figure.

I just had excellent luck with www.travelteam.com.<BR><BR>

Sue,<BR>I also went to Priceline and am flying out of Toronto (from Cleveland) to Paris for 250.00 plus taxes on Air canada in early November.<BR>
