paris in the springtime, part deaux
ooh la la
beacoup savings MSP-CDG right now, found on my yahoo's fare tracker
292+ lufthansa
304+ icelandic
334+ AA and icelandic
not quite sure how to get the 292+ as when I try, it shows me "...Lufthansa does not provide service between Minneapolis/St Paul, MN and Paris, France
on the selected date..."
trying the 304+ on icelandic I also get "...Icelandair does not provide service between Minneapolis/St Paul, MN and Paris, France on the selected date..."
trying the 334 on AA, I can go out but can't find a return flight.
well anyway, good fares out there, perhaps they work better from other cities
yahoo fare tracker is sort of cool, except that it sucks in a bunch of ways - this being one example, and not showing the prices for places where you CERTAINLY can "get there from here"

"combien de francs" not "combien des francs"
and
"... ce soir" not "... c'est soir"
