[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are traveling to Europe to visit our kid studying abroad over Thanksgiving break.  I think that constitutes peak pricing.  Round trip business is $8,000 plus  on our route, leaving from IAD.  [b]Half the flights are already sold out of business seats.  [/b]Wound up paying around $14,000 for three people using a combo of points and we are flying back premium economy.  Cost is going to be very time specific.  Also, not everyone is going to London or Paris.[/quote]

Can you post an example of a flight in late November across the Atlantic that is sold out of business seats 2.5 months in advance?[/quote]

Sure, all of the SAS flights leaving IAD to Copenhagen on 11/21 and two thirds of the flights same route on 11/22.  There were others but don’t really want to recreate it all for you.[/quote]

SAS doesn't fly daily to Copenhagen from IAD that time of year.  There is no flight on the schedule on 11/21 (you can check by looking in economy, nothing shows up).  There is a single flight other days of the week, not sure what you mean by "two thirds of the flights on 11/22".  There are business class seats available for sale on SAS on their single IAD-CPH flight on 11/22.[/quote]

There are also one stop flights from IAD to CPH on SAS, that’s what I mean by other flights.  These do in fact fly on both Friday and Saturday.[/quote]
