where are you from?
try this site, it requires you to download the tool but it is worth it. I use it to find all my tickets..
http://www.sidestep.com

it searches all airline sites as well as hotwire, cheaptickets, orbits .. all those..
keep checking this site and if you find a good price take it.. depending on where you are from .. the usa a good price would be 1000 to 1200 at that time of year. I usually found between 860 to 1400 depending on the time of year

not far at all if you want to look up some flights for june 2007 go to cheapair.com that is where i found the cheapest or just directly to the airlines you want to fly. june is a busy time and expensive but maybe you can find something now for cheaper dont wait till the last minute though

There is such a difference between travelling from the UK and tavelling from the USA. I have managed to get a cut price ticket from the UK to Luxor with only 24 hours notice.

Wow I just looked for myself leaving Jun 22 and arriving back in Boston on Jul 1. Using Hotwire the lowest was $1,800 and using sidestep the cheapest was $1,300 with a 30 hour layover in Amsterdam!!! [Eek!]

For my British Air tickets for my December trip I only paid a little over $900 with the longest layover being 7 1/2 hours. I sure do hope those prices come down for June!

Hmm...still not getting lower than $1,330 but I'll keep on trying. I need a calendar using that site 'cause it doesn't tell you what day of the week the date is. Thanks for the tip though. Maybe the closer you book the cheaper it is since they normally add more planes once these get booked. (that's what my mom once told me anyways.)
