How often do these cheap flights come along?

Today there were round trip tickets to Moscow for $350. I was really stupid and I didn't buy them right away. That offer is no longer available.

Will offers like these come up again?

Yes, but the chance of you knowing about it is probably 1,000,000 to 1

Did the $350 include taxes and fees?

Cynthia, you are so right. Often it is flight only, which is sometimes less that half the total coast, or the trip makes so many stops and connections, it takes three times as long as it should. Have to get the whole picture, although it does happen once in awhile because I see posters who've done it.

I did buy those tickets and we're going next month! I thought it was an outrageous deal and yes it included taxes and fees. For three tickets from DC to Moscow (with a layover in JFK) we paid about 1050 total.

Now to get past the complex visa application by next week and we're home free!

How did you find those cheap tickets? when should I start looking for cheap flights from Orlando to europe leaving either the end of sept or the beginning of Oct. which month would be cheaper? we are going for 2 weeks, the places we want to visit are London,Paris, Rome and Venice. so which city would be cheapest to fly into also would it be best to fly into one place and out of another or a round trip from the same city taking into consideration that we would have to get a flight back from city #4 back to city #1. thank you all sooo much,this is our first and probably only trip to Europe and I know nothing about the ins and outs of international travel and appreciate all the help you can give me.
