air fares in june/july

I keep reading all these older posts about fare sales with 300-400 round trip tickets from the US to France, but we%26#39;re travelling in late June/early July for our honeymoon (so the dates aren%26#39;t very flexible) and fares are through the roof! The cheapest I can find comes to be over $1000 each. I know it%26#39;s a popular time to travel and fares are just going to be higher, but will there be any fare sales likely or should I just suck it up?

When specifically are your dates? We are going for our honeymoon, as well, but in early June. We bought at $900 with Air France with a layover in Boston, but I saw $800 with Continental after we bought them. These were only short-term sales (weekends). Ours were purchased in September, and the other sale was in November. Just keep checking fares every day through www.mobissimo.com or www.kayak.com and jump on a good deal. Anyways, good luck and congratulations on getting married and going to Paris!

June and July are high season so it may be hard to find low rates. This will be even truer with little flexibility. There is a new airline, all Business class with similar rates but it only goes between Newark, N.J and Orly ( far more preferable than CDG. It is L%26#39;Avion at lavion.com

Do you have any frequent flier miles with any airlines? If so some may partner with Air France or others that fly to Paris like Continental, etc. At least that way you might get an upgrade. We Fares are also cheaper than oher types of fares.

Congratulations on the marriage.

Hey, I%26#39;m taking my honeymoon in early June. No, you%26#39;re not going to find much under $1000. I was able to score tickets on icelandair for $850/person. Might want to check them out on www.travelocity.com. It%26#39;s cheaper on there than the icelandair website.

Just checking today, the same tickets are up to $910. You probably want to get them soon.

I even tried flying into london or other airports on the cheap carriers and taking the train into Paris, but it only saved like $50 overall...not worth the hassle of having to take the train after a 9 hour flight.
