Someone just called to tell me about this offer on United. I do not have time to check it out but thought I would pass it on.

So...how about some more info. Like travel during what month, etc.

DeeDee, if you go onto United website you will see what special fares are available. Northwest has some too.

How about $249 RT (plus taxes and fees, probably) Here's a copy of a message I posted the day before yesterday:

LoveItaly,

I have been checking all airfares for several weeks now. After your post, I double checked the United website and still fail to see any European sales/specials. What am I missing?

DeeDee, sorry, I didn't mean that I have checked the United website (I haven't) I just meant that whatever specials they were having would no doubt be on their website. Sorry for the confusion.

However I did get an e-mail from Northwest Airlines on Wednesday, giving their specials for flying to Europe. The website in www.nwa.com if you want to check them out. The e-mail claimed they had r/t fares as low as $208.00 but didn't check it out much as travel has to be completed by Feb. 28th. And of course there are the additional fees and taxes (something like $112.00 for travel to Europe).

That's a great fare, however you look at it! I usually have to fly LA-SFO-CDG, so to get a fare direct to CDG would be nice - and at that price. Presumably, this quote is for Winter/Spring travel? I don't think I have ever gotten something that low.
