Too early for me to book, but thanks for the heads up. But what I really want to know, is where will you be walking next year? My expert powers of deduction (hmm, I think actually that may be induction) lead me to think it's a route in France.I just booked my Spring flight on Lufthansa Chicago to Paris non stop for $470 RT. April 11th to May 12th. I know this is early but you can not beat the price. Not sure how this price holds up from other points of origin.
What is the difference between "economy base" and "economy base plus 1" besides a thousand dollars? Seems a big difference since both contain the word "economy." Have you flown with them before?I just booked my Spring flight on Lufthansa Chicago to Paris non stop for $470 RT. April 11th to May 12th. I know this is early but you can not beat the price.

I think the difference is explained here but I could be wrong since the airlines use so many terms: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2008/apr/29/consumeraffairs
That is a really great fare, probably won't last long!

Try flying from somewhere else. Peg and I once booked round trip Boston/Detroit tickets to get a really cheap Detroit/Europe airfare.I wish sometimes that I lived in the Lower 48. Today I shelled out $3500 for 2 RT tickets from Anchorage to Madrid for next May.

I hope I didn't mess up this booking at book.lufthansa.com but I just saw a $331 Canadian ($250 US) Lufthansa round trip from Vancouver to Paris leaving 1 May 2017 returning 31 May 2017. Look into this some more and maybe you can book something cheaper than you have now even if you lose a deposit on the tickets you just bought.
Yes Peter, you must just smile when you read about us North Americans and the fares we pay.Hi all, when I am hearing about the high airfare, I'm glad that I live in Europe.
Wish you all well, Peter.
omI searched from different angles. I could have bought one for about $600 cheaper but I didn't want to fly in a cramped seat. I'm flying ANC-SEA-LHR-MAD. It's only 19 1/2 hours in flight and on BA I can select the twin seats which means we won't have a third seat in our row. So I'm paying a bit more for comfort and shorter flight. Even still, the cheapest option was still in the $1500 pp range. THe other nice thing about this expensive ticket is that it gets us into Madrid at 12:40pm and we have time to take the train at 4pm to Oviedo. So we say money and time by not having to overnight in Madrid.
I shouldn't complain. Comfort has it's cost. I just hate that half that fare is a BA surcharge for fuel that is no longefittefr needed.
obinjatoo, we were comparing air fares to London from Vancouver. This isn't for the Camino in Spain, it's for walking in Scotland....and no I am not limited; I chose departure/return dates with no problem. I know our forum is mainly for the Camino(s), but from time to time, we have threads on Air fares in general, and who is offering the best deals. MaggieAre you limited to 31 days for a return? That's a hell of a push for the CF.
Ultreia!

Cheapest ' Bargain ' fare return from Melbourne to Barcelona is $1600 Aus . How I envy those that needn't suffer the tyranny of distance . By the way , does anyone have advice on open ended tickets ? I really don't want to hurry what will most probably be my first and last Camino , somehow a fixed date of return is , at least to me , a tyranny in itself.
