The Deal

Air France has just announced a sweeping sale on fares to dozens of destinations worldwide, with rates starting at just $199 one-way ($398 round-trip) to Europe and beyond. Fly to Paris, Rome, Athens, and more, or plan a trip to exotic destinations around the globe, from Delhi to Cairo to Cape Town.

 

The best deal in this promotion is a fare of just $199 one-way ($398 round-trip) for travel to Amsterdam from New York City. There are also other great deals to Europe, like a fare to Paris from Boston for just $220 one-way ($440 round-trip), or a fare of just $296 one-way ($592 round-trip) from San Francisco to Barcelona. Departures are available from 12 major U.S. cities in all, thanks to this excellent Bastille Day Early Bird Sale.

 

For travelers looking to travel to more exotic destinations, try a flight to Cairo from Houston for just $372 one-way ($744 round-trip), or a flight to Delhi from New York for just $456 one-way ($912 round-trip). There are also sale fares on offer to Johannesburg, Tel Aviv, and more.

 

Fall fares to Europe are slightly higher than winter fares, and are valid for travel between

 

September 11 and October 31, 2006 (for India, travel to select destinations may occur September 1 through December 14, 2006; there are no sale fares to the Middle East or Africa for fall travel). Winter fares to Europe are valid on departures between November 1 and December 14, 2006 and again December 26, 2006 through March 21, 2007 (India, Middle East, and Africa winter travel may occur during the same period, with an extension through March 31, 2007). Just hurry up and book – this deal ends July 28, 2006.

Ryan Air currently has a sale on. Ends on Monday 17th July for travel during September, October and November. It appears to be mainly mid-week travel and there are blackout periods; still worth a look. I found a return flight to Seville, Monday 11th September- Thursday 14th September for £39.66 and this is the only search I did, I'm sure cheaper can be found. I'm tempted by a pre-Ramadan nose-around Andalucia. Drool.
