Flying to Europe in December

The prices is high because of the holiday season. I was in Europe December 2007 and got my ticket in September for $500.

Prices have risen in the past year, due to falling dollar value, rising fuel prices, or whatever. A round trip fare from LAX to anywhere in Europe for $800-900 seems reasonable to me, especially during the holidays.

Have a great trip!

Anytime you can go round trip to Europe for less than $1k from the West Coast that's pretty damn good.

Thanks everyone for your input! This is our first trip there and just want to make sure we plan it well. I just wasn't sure because I had heard that during the winter time, airfare could be from $500 to $1K so was just checking. Thanks!

Trang, I'm flying out of LAX this Sunday and paid $800 (pre tax) to get to London. I thin since you're going during the holidays, the price won't decreast. If it does, it won't be much.. maybe pennies.

I am going over the holidays and already bought my tickets in April. Any other year, I might have waited until October (traditionally when the winter rates drop to their lowest), but I felt with the dollar and fuel situation, it wouldn't get any better than this. Also, I was able to get a direct flight from Seattle to Frankfurt, and I didn't want to risk some horrible connection to save $75 (my brother and his wife had a bad experience missing connections on their October trip.)

Trang, I booked my Italy air ticket for last December (Dec 13-23) back at the end of last May. I paid $977 (open jaw ticket from SFO). I checked each week, and the ticket price kept going up and up. So if you can grab 800-900 now, I would do it.
