[quote=Anonymous]We took the entire family to England/France a few years ago (OK, 5 years ago), and the airfare was about $600 per person round trip. We took the train from London to Paris, so that was a few hundred dollars more. It didn't break the bank then and wouldn't now if we could find such great fares, but I doubt it. We went during "mud season" in late Feb, early March, when the weather was terrible (wet, cold, snowish), so fewer people travel then, and seats are more plentiful and cheaper. I'd go again, but kids are now in public/private and the school vacations don't match up! Ya, first world problem, but I really, really loved taking the kids to Europe, and I do so want to go again, but doubt it will happen. Prices are higher, and we don't have as much money any more.

I did do extensive searching and found the cheaper fares using BA and American websites, and got special deals on certain days (like travel on Wed and Sat). Expedia, etc. (do people still use those?) had higher fares, plus you pay some surcharge, so we didn't use them. The airlines' own websites were slightly cheaper, but it is definitely more work, and the prices change from minute to minute practically, so you have to be ready to jump if you find a good price.
