Holy f-ing crap. I just posted on the East Coast fare to Paris but HOLY CRAP.
You can fly from Los Angeles to Paris on American for $396. The dates available include some summer dates
Valid for travel on the outbound April – May or August – September. Must purchase at least 28 days in advance of departure
As always, the Flight Deal has the details.
I subscribe to the Flight Deals tweets and check them pretty often. I may have booked deals during work meetings. (If my boss is reading this, disregard the last sentence).
I can jump on fares when there’s still lots of availability and I don’t miss out on the deals I want to take advantage of.
I’ve shared my process of “subscribing” to great fares.
This process involves signing up for twitter. Even if you won’t be an active user of twitter, it’s a good idea to have an account to take advantage of deals on contests in general.
You can see my post on this here.
I recommend following them even if you aren’t in those areas because they are gateway cities. There’s a lot of good international deals–worth the effort flying out to the gateway.
