For what it's worth, there are some options out there in the $1150 R/T range, which isn't really an abnormal summer fare.

My assumptions:
- "Europe" = FRA. (Hey, I had to guess something...)
- "UA" = any Star Alliance metal
- "Washington" = anything from Philly to Baltimore to Northern Virginia
- "late July early August" = a one-week R/T anywhere in those 3 weeks

Nonstop United metal to IAD is more like $1,600. A little on the high side for my tastes...but I doubt it decreases between now and then.
