DFW-FRA late June - Any tips for good fares? Time to buy?
Unfortunately I have to go to Germany for a family affair in the end of June (a time I usually avoid due to high fares). Does anyone have any suggestions for a low fare? Right now the best I can find is $900.
Is there a chance there will be a fare sale for that period (June 23-29), or should I buy now before the fares go higher?
Thanks.

I doubt fares will go any higher(unless you wait until the very last minute). Airlines tend to ask the most for summer travel during the winter period. Once April rolls around, they start looking at their summer load sales and if they are a bit light, they start to discount the fares. You might also want to keep an eye on all European gateways becuase with a very good sale fare into another city, it might price out cheaper even with the extra airfare required to get you into FRA.

try 60000 Aadvantage miles instead,
or check out onepass... you may have to be a bit flexible on your dates....
Pay fares that time of yr normally hover around $900-$1000... so you are doing fine
