Who is going to Europe in September 2008? How much is your plane ticket?
I'm planning a trip (departing from Boston) to France/Belgium in mid-September 2008. I have been checking plane tix prices at least once a day on AA.com for a month now. The price has barely fluctuated ($1080-$1085pp).
Last year, we flew from Dallas to Paris on AA in October. I was checking ticket prices weekly for 3 months. Then one day in July, the price dropped from around $1100 to only $650pp. I jumped on it right away. That price only lasted for one day.
With the crude oil prices going up and up, I wonder if I'll be lucky again this year at all.
We are pretty much stuck with AA as both me and DH are elite members. We will get bonus miles on this trip, plus choice of exit row seats and lounge access.
So, if you're heading to Europe this September, can you tell me:
1) How much is your plane ticket?
2) Where are you departing from and where are you flying into?
3) Which airline?

Travelling in Sept from Australia,
- Airfare $2100.00 (x4)
-From Adelaide to London
-Singapore Airlines
That was the cheaper earlybird fare booked in November.
I bet that makes you feel better about your costs.!!

I'm not going in mid-September, but I couldn't resist checking airfares. If I were to buy today, I would buy this, most likely:
YVR-LGW
CDG-YVR
Total cost about $837 CAD all-in. Roundtrip to London would be $858 all-in.
Prices are variable by about +/-30, depending on which exact September days.
This is on Zoom.
