when did you book your flight?

where did you book your flight?

I want to fly to central Europe in August, but fear that I'll need to pay over $1,000 (which i'm prepared and expect to do).

Mid-May Boston-Madrid, nonstop $550 back in Feb 08; Iberia.com.

Paid $650 RT

Late May for 12 days.
LAX-CDG. layover in St Paul, MN both ways.

Booked Feb 08

Found it on kayak and purchased from Orbitz.

May 23- June 1, JFK-LHR, $607 on Delta.com. Bought 3 days ago on a whim. I was actually searching for fares for late November, my preferred time of year to travel, but everything for Nov/Dec is ridiculously expensive this year.

Mid-June to early July

Seattle to London on Northwest ($650) RT
London to Paris on BA (100) RT

Got the info. on this price/ticket from here.

I think we bought our tix in mid-January.

anyone else flying this summer? Read the first blog entry and fill in your info...

Paid $800 (including taxes) for US Airways flight JAX-PHL-MAN-GLA for June 13- July 6. Booked in mid-February, on a one-day sale through Orbitz. There were 6 of us, so I was glad to get the dip below $1200 normal prices!

$738

May 8-18
IAD-CDG
CGN-IAD

Booked in February through United

SJC (San Jose, CA) to MAD (Madrid, Spain) flying in mid-August ... I paid just over $1200 RT.

Seemed high then, but it's gone up slightly since I booked in February.

Two stops (Minniapolis and Amsterdam) on NWA and KLM.

PHL-CDG RT non-stops on US Airways.

5/25-6/2 $898 purchased Jan 2008

SFO-ATH mid May to mid June - $1200.
Could have gotten a fare a bit cheaper, but this one was a one stop that gets us in to ATH at a decent hour, in time to catch a domestic flight out to our island. No overnight in ATH, either way.

May 9-21 to Italy, into Milan and out of Venice from middle of Michigan for $1167 per person on Northwest.

Purchased in Jan 08 thru Northwest. Have checked repeatedly and no changes downward, increases a couple times in $50 increments.

Our travel dates just missed the spring fare sales but couldn't adjust dates so just swallowed and clicked on purchase. Leave Friday and am still glad I did!

$1900 X 6 for US Air Envoy

BNA-PHL-MXP Mid June to first week of July

Booked Dec 25, 2007

First saw it on AMEX web site, but then booked direct with US Air.

Vancouver - London (LGW) $1100 RT - middle of July departure.. has since gone down about $50

Edmonton to Paris on Northwest - $1275/person.

Today this flight is over $3500. I think we did well!

Naxos

$734

SFO to CDG non-stop June 11 - June 26

I booked it on April 14.

I was idly browing the Air France website, hoping against hope that they would have a good airfare. To my surprise, they did.

ORD-LHR, May 20-28. $609, booked thru United.com last week. Will hop on bmi at Heathrow one-way ($110) to Amsterdam, then travel by train to Bruges, and train again back to LHR to fly home.

My husband and I paid $903 pp to fly round-trip, nonstop from Philly - Athens, May 16 - June 1. I bought the flights in early February through Airfare.com, using Kayak.com to scour Web sites.

These were the cheapest nonstops I've seen, so glad I booked when I did. There were a couple one-stop flights in the $850s at one point, but I'd gladly pay $50 more per ticket for a nonstop.

544.00 Canadian per person departing from Halifax to Paris on Icelandair. Our dates are from Jun 2 to Jun 14th and we purchased our tickets back in September of 2007.

wow. I was beginning to feel better after reading everyone else's responses, but, crazyfortravel, you make me want to cry.
