[quote=Anonymous][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.  [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]

Those must involve connections with the long haul flight on another airline?  SAS only flies from Dulles to Copenhagen.  They may say offer an SAS flight from Paris to CPH, with the leg to Paris on Air France.[/quote]

Why do you care?  They also fly through JFK and Toronto,[/quote]
