Help! Where is the best place to get inexpensive tickets to France?

I am looking to leave in a few weeks and the typical online travel sites are telling me it will be $1400. Does anyone have any ideas of where I could look?

One site that has been recommended on this board is itasoftware.com It's a search engine of airfares. Good luck.

You might also try the following in addition to the ITA site:

www.mobissimo.com

www.farechase.com

the Consolidator...

www.onetravel.com

The problem you may encounter could be the fact that you've waited until a few weeks prior to travel to buy a ticket. The cost of the ticket probably depends, to some extent, on the route, i.e., the city you are leaving from (assuming you are flying into Paris).

Have you considered an alternative such as London or Amsterdam and ground transport from there to France?

Another thought may be bidding on Priceline. Check out the tutorial for how to do this at www.biddingfortravel.com. Study at that site until you know exactly how to bid. The moderators at the site will even help you with your bid, but you have to do your homework first.
