2 month summer trip to Poland from Philly area

Hello

I have been travelling regularly for about 1,5-2 months to Poland from Philadelphia for the past couple of years. It usually has been May to July, sometimes June to August. Anyway, this year I am planning on travelling against, the dates being around June 10th to around August 15th. I haven't travelled in June since forever ago, so I am not quite sure what the price level can be and so I thought I'd ask you.

I am on a rather very low budget and would like to save as much as possible. I discovered a trip from Newark with SAS on their 999 promo, but I read a lot of bad reviews about them and I'm not sure I want to do this.. Anyone have any recent experience with SAS on their transatlantic flights? Is it worth saving for a $1000 RT and savings of $250 over Philly?

Now, to the second part. At this point, BA and Lufthansa are at $1350 to $1400 out of Philly RT to Warsaw. Comparatively, Lufthansa is $1080 from EWR and BA is $1250 from EWR. For me the cost of traveling to Newark is an extra $120 so it ends up not being much of a difference..

Thus the question: can I expect any promos for flights in June? Any chance that I might be able to snatch something cheaper by $150 or $200 to bring it to $1100 or even $1000 for June? Kind of like SAS from Newark but from Philly? Or is that a pipedream and I shouldn't expect anything lower than $1350 that's on offer now?

Thanks in advance for any help that I can get!
