Maybe it does right now because fares haven't been loaded, but itw ill certainly cost less.
Well, that's great for you.
BUt Easter break is in April this year.
I just checked again
SFO-CDG for April 4-12 (Leave on Sat, Returning on Sunday 8 days later)
If you think there will be seats left for the same dates at cheaper fares later, then great.... but they have gone up since I booked mine.
Booking 2 people
Cheapest outbound is 3 segments for $649
I selected 2 segments for $659
Same on the return, except it kep saying the 2 segments choices I was choosing were not available, so I took a $659 3 segment return
Departure Fare per Person 659.00 USD
Return Fare per Person 649.00 USD
Total Fare per Person 1308.00 USD
Additional Taxes and Fees per Person * 131.20 USD
Total Price per Person 1439.20 USD
I paid about $87 on each of the award tickets. so the savings currently is about $1350. It was closed to $1300 when I booked them.
I just checked ORD. The cheapest outbound 1/2 is showing $546 BEFORE Fees and taxes. So. add a return and the taxes and fees, and it's not much cheaper.
