thanks mrploddy and everyone for your advice! i am not going ANYWHERE near ORD at that time of year. half of my wedding party almost missed my wedding in december because of weather there- so i'm a bit anti-ORD plus the fact that the other half (my mother, and stepfather) were delayed there overnight due to weather (my mum had my wedding dress in her luggage) and they had to put up a fight to get it back!! It sends shivers down my spine to think of ORD!!

am going to think aout CDG also, i think i remember flights dropping around that time too, so i may chance it as at the minute it will cost $1800 for two tickets- bit out of my price range!!
