Airfare to Paris for April - buy now or wait until after holidays?
Hello all,
We will be flying to Paris on April 10th and coming home on April 18th. Right now the flights we want on Air France are about $1000 per person (inc. taxes and fees) from Philadelphia for non-stop flights both ways. It looks like both flights are about half booked (according to the seating charts I've seen) and we'd like to buy soon to ensure we get the seats we want (a set of two seats by ourselves on the side).
Would you expect the fares to go down significantly after the holidays? I'm not concerned with small differences, but if I could possibly save a few hundred dollars that would be nice. We've taken this flight before for around $700 per person, but that was in the fall.
We have already booked our accommodations and have already moved the trip back one day due to better rates, so we're sticking with this flight. It's just a matter of when to buy.
Any insight would be appreciated!

Don't know where you live, but if you fly from AVP-CDG the fare is $849.93 on US. It's $7.50 per day for parking and the parking garage is about 30 steps from the terminal. The flight connects through PHL but it is less expensive for some reason or other.
