Urgent travel to Europe from MCO

Need to attend an immediate family member funeral in Europe. Need to leave this weekend from MCO to AMS/BRU/CDG. Travel dates May 7 - 11/12. Fares are extremely high for such short notice---AA, UA, LH, AF are all charging USD2,000+. Any help appreciated to get a better fare.

Thanks

1) This is the wrong forum for this thread.

2) Can you use miles? I see UA availability on those dates from MCO - CDG via EWR

You could go via London instead.

Flight to LGW http://goo.gl/flights/jzBQ
Flight from LGW http://goo.gl/flights/AnsM

769euro which should be around 880usd

Then you can either take a train from London (international trains depart very often and are both comfy and quick. Or fly from any of the London airports to one closer to your destination.

For those dates from MCO you might get a lower fare booking a roundtrip flight into London and then using a budget airline from there to you final destination , depending on where that is.

I see 598GBP into London roundtrip.

Paris 854GBP

Seeing $900 to London on Norwegian / Westjet, get a cheap flight or train from there.

Suggestion

Try Priceline bidding. The process is free. It doesn't work as well as it used to, but every once in a while somebody lands a good deal. You can bid every two hours now. If you want more instruction and help - www.betterbidding.com. There are some tricks that will let you get lots more bids in one session.
