(Business) DFW to multiple Euro cities (CDG, CPH, ARN, OSL) for ~$1,750 r/t (SkyTeam)
After seeing the thread about discounted fares out of CPH, I decided to check and see if they were available the other way around (despite knowing they're usually not). Surprise! And it looks like they're broadly available through the end of August.
There's not much rhyme or reason to the fares, however. While they appear to all be on SkyTeam carriers, CDG via AF is $1,724 r/t, but AMS via KLM is over $2,500. Other airports clocking in at under $2K r/t include FRA, MUN, SVO, WAW, and Cork, of all places (despite DUB costing $2,400 and LHR/LGW priced at over $2,700).

Hmmm, not sure. All the dates I tested were in the second half of August, though Google Flights showed the same prices as early as June 26. Also, it appears that travel must take place on both legs on Wed.-Sat.

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum so I apologize for the newbie questions but I am struggling to find the fares listed above. Maybe I just to late but I searched AF out of DFW to CDG following the criteria above but was coming up with ~2800.00 r/t per person. Did I just miss the deals? Also , can I search for flight using sky team site? Just saw a list of flights but no price and couldn't select. Sorry again for being "that guy
" but just trying to figure this game out!
Thanks
