Yes, they are high. But you can book them if you are sure the fares allow you to reticket when fares drop and get a voucher for the difference. Or reuse the full amount without penalty on a future ticket. The $99 each way fares are yet to be announced. Last year some of the $99EW fares were Tues/Wed only. In January I lucked out and found the $198RT+tax fares for Friday and Sunday travel.

Good sign that the fares will in fact be coming down: check out the prices for Europe-to-the-states fares. Right now, I was trying to book a ticket from SFO-Lyon (LYS), in France. US flights price out about $600 with taxes and ripoff "fees" added. You can book the same ****ed flights from LYS-SFO-LYS (in other words, the other direction, only the dates differ) for under $480, fees included.
Airlines, are you listening? We know the score! Out with those January fare sales! (And I'll bite at anything under $500, fees included). But not until.

Burkey, it's a shame you are not a US flyer. PHL-FRA in Jan. is pricing at $290 (+charges) and $358 in Feb.
cheap to MUC as well http://usairways.com/promotions/specials/fra_muc.htm

Sheryl, regardless of season I've never seen US to Europe fares be lower than the Europe to US fares. Seems they are always at least $100US less. In what season do the US to Europe prices fall below the reverse?
