I will be. Just having a little trouble making up my mind about the plane fares. Cheapest so far is Hotwire’s offer of 581.00 RT ATL -FRA.

Just wondering if any other dopers are going (12-19/12-26) and what y’all might be paying for your flights?

I’m probably going to make a final decision next week on the 581.00, but I was **hoping** , ticket prices maight come down a bit given the travel slump. But then again, the airlines have approached the government for more financial assistance, so maybe I better just “suck it up” and pay the $581.00?

Whatcha’ll think?

Quasi the stingy 😃

Hey, Violet

Thanks for answering. I checked LH and they **do** have a deal, but the travel dates don’t fit my schedule. I will check out the eurotrip site.

Appreciate it!

It’s not exactly Germany, but I’m going to England around the same time for almost exactly the same price. Dunno if that helps.
