Yes, that is round trip. I think we will probably pick up a one hour flight to Munich to begin our trip there, but, we'll see. We did plan to fly out of Frankfurt, but Dusseldorf is not far from the Rhine area we will end in, so it will work perfectly. This price is better than we got in 2008, so we are happy! It is easy to second guess buying so early, but it seems like the price is good. We did fly Air Berlin in 2008 within Europe and we like them ok, so hopefully it will be fine.

That's the best fare AI have heard about in a longtime. Congrats to you. Hope it includes any fuel surcharges and taxes.

Susan and Monte sounds good to me. I peeked at airfare the other day for a June 2011 trip for us & I was shocked to say the least. It's relly gone up since our last trip this past May.

Yes, that does include taxes and fuel charges. If we want to choose seats prior to check in, then it will cost $22 per person. I was told that about 75% don't choose seats ahead of time. So, that was kind of a bummer that it cost more. Also, that is a direct flight so I'm thrilled. Still wish we had a really nice airline, but, for the money it probably doesn't matter. We would still go economy anyway.
