I am sure this has been asked before, BUT I want some CURRENT information....

Where can I book CHEAP tickets to Paris from Atlanta????? I have looked everywhere I can think of or Google, and I can't find anything less than $1,800!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!

The only service that I could find that was super cheap turns out to have horrible reviews, so I am trying not to purchase tickets from sketchy people...

Hipmunk.com and Kayak.com are the best current aggregators. Miles are good. Have you tried a travel agent for the possibility of a special-fare ticket that doesn't show up in the internet searches?

I have tried those two sites, but the cheapest is with Airfare.com, and they are not known to be reliable from what I've read. I haven't called a travel agency yet. That was my next move if nothing from the internet booking sites worked out.

We just booked from Hawaii to Paris via Boston for about $1350 US roundtrip on Priceline, between $300 - $400 less than other sites were advertising. You can name your own reasonably reduced price based on what you find comparable elsewhere. Problem is that they don't allow you to view itinerary beforehand, also they charge a fee on top of fare, so read the fine print. Travel mid week, our dates were late August, return early October. Paid a little extra and purchased insurance in case something changes. Still beat anything else we could find as long as you can be flexible on dates and not fussy about arrival times and layovers. Buen camino.

Priceline is my favorite if you're flexible on the itinerary. Good luck!

Checkout XL French Airways. You can get a one way ticket from NYC to Paris for $350. Tickets to NYC from Atlanta should be cheap. Should be able to get it all for around $1000 - $1200.
Good Luck!

Could you provide some target dates? Your profile says you were starting last month.

Thanks everyone. I am not leaving until NEXT may. I know that I do have time to get things figured out, but I still want to have a plan for my tickets...no to mention, enough money too.

We had a crew flying to Nice this year, and by far the cheapest ticket was a friend who flew Aeroflot, Dulles to Moscow, Moscow to Nice. We joked it would be one leg full of spys, one leg full of rich Russians headed to their mistress they keep in the south of France. It worked well and saved her $400.

Just getting to Europe and then using Ryanair to the final destination can save a ton. You just have to be willing to go to unexpected places or small towns.

And factor in the costs of travel from those small towns. Plus the fees for checked bags etc.

Going to Spain Vueling (Spanish carrier) might be a better choice all costs in then Ryanair. Or even Easyjet. Unless things have changed both have better baggage limits.
