All transatlantic flights are booked solid including waiting lists from 14 of December. Any free seats are starting only after the 24th This looks deceivingly good because a great many flights have simply been cancelled. Twice I booked with US-based airlines only to have the flights wiped-out. Hopefully the Dec 23 $400 euro-tix I now hold won't disappear too!

Not so. There are seats from many U.S. gateways to many Euro destinations. Most are expensive (close to $2K). In a quick check, I noticed one cheap fare ($625 from Newark to Paris -- that's about 8 cents a mile and is below cost of moving a seat that distance). If U.S. airlines intend to stay in business, the cost of flying will have to go up, not down.

last week I was looking to book a round trip from Europe to the States and back. Supposedly Plenty of seats out of Budapest, Vienna and Berlin. Prices are higher than they have ever been and that's not including the $70 security tax they have added. Seats available from the 14th to the 24th just more expensive. At least that is what the travel agent told me. Midnight Jan 31 all EU countries convert to Euro's. Do I have that right? R
