[quote=Anonymous][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.  Half the flights are already sold out of business seats.  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]

Just looked for business class to Florence (popular spot for study abroad, figured), Nov 25, returning Dec 1, on Swiss through Zurich.  $3,100 roundtrip in lie flat business.

If I’m going to Europe, with a job and other kids,  I’m going weekend to weekend, not random weekdays.  Most kids can miss Thanksgiving week of school, but we wouldn’t be taking off the following Monday.  [/quote]

$3200 on Swiss Nov 22-30.[/quote]

I guess that’s nice if one is going to Florence, but we aren’t, and the fares for the route we need is 8,000 plus four round trip business per person.  Not sure why you want to debate this.  I’m not saying there isnt cheaper business seats to Europe, but there are also routes and time period when it is pretty expensive.[/quote]

It appears you are going to Copenhagen for that last week of November?  Looks like you can go with a quick stop in Zurich for $4700. Yeah I wouldn't like an extra 3 hours, but seems pretty reasonable to save $3300/person.[/quote]
