CO to ARN in June ?
My husband has a conference in ARN this coming June. I would love to tag along and do it using co.com (which hopefully will secure me plat for next year).
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to the best time to book ... or if summer fares are always outrageous?
Thx.

I believe that the only ARN service CO has is codeshare service with KLM from AMS. We've been using SAS going to Sweden and crediting the miles to UA. The schedules are much more convenient and the fares seemed to be a LOT less than on CO.
If you must buy on CO, keep checking the fares ans they usually have sales for summer travel some time between December and February. I'd expect to pay at least $650 each from EWR in June.

$1100?! Wow. I guess I have been spoiled.
SAS has a two-for-one special EWR->ARN (I think UA does as well) for $1100 right now. I'm not sure when the offer expires but it's probably before March.
Check out NW as well, as a lot of the CO flights to AMS/ARN are KLM/NW codeshares. You might get different pricing on the same aircraft. Of course if you need 100% CO EQM you'l; be SOL with this strategy.
