As I was looking for cheap flights to Paris, I ran across this website. www.wholesale-flights.com Has anyone used it? Prices look amazing but I'm sure no taxes have been included. I just wondered what the catch was. Thanks for the help!
I haven't looked at that particular website, but in general, airline prices right now are cheaper than they've been in a long time. For example, if I were to fly to London this spring, it would actually cost me LESS than when I flew there in 1998. And that's without even adjusting for inflation.
For April 09, through Expedia I got a round trip non stop flight to Heathrow from Denver on United for $553. I went in December, with a stupid Philly connection both ways, on US Air for $834, and That was cheap at the time, most were at least $1000 because of Gas.
American has some great deals (to Europe) for the month of March. 203 each way from SFO to London.
US Airways is having a sale for the summer months again. Don't know what airport you fly out of but Seattle to Paris is $724 RT with taxes,etc. for dates in June and July. You have to play around with the dates and use the best fare finder option when you do a search. Seems like everyone hates going through Philly but I saved over $1500 on a RT to Amsterdam with their sale last month so to me it will be worth it. If you are looking for something earlier, Air France is having a sale for March travel.
That US Airways Seattle-Paris fare is really good. The downside is that it's US Airways, my least favorite carrier. But at that price even I could be tempted.
Thanks for the info. I fly out of Indianapolis. I haven't been able to find anything under $1300. I guess I'll just keep searching each day and hopefully find something a little cheaper. Thanks for the insight.
Kelly, have you tried Chicago? When we used to live in nearby Peru, IN, we sometimes flew out of Chicago. It's a much bigger airport and the HUGE price difference made the longer drive to Chicago worthwhile.
