Cost of flight tickets at Christmas

I have a plane ticket booked to Portland from (through Denver) Vienna

Dec. 22 - Jan. 5

It cost €1097.

How much di other people pay for their tickets home this Christmas?

i got hannover to portland oregon via frankfurt on lufthansa for 810€ all taxes and fees included. departing dec 22nd returning jan 12th. i think i bought it through fly.de but it was around the end of august or the beginning of september.

Got Hamburg-Houston (through newark) Dec 9th returning dec 26th for around 800usd on continental.

Frankfurt to London return was around 60 pounds ie. about 90€.

I've paid 120€ for Munich-Manchester. Which is 20€ more than I paid last year. I could have got it for a lot less, but I dont want to fly back on New Years Day.

That's a good price for Manchester though, or how far in advance did you book it?

fuck i knew id forgotten to do something

I booked in September, a bit in advance I guess. At the time the return flight for coming back on the 1st Jan was 80€.

i hope you got an ok deal if you just booked now. i paid about 250€ more than i should have. i think it was also fly.de that had a deal for around 560€ dec 22nd to jan 12th from hannover to pdx via amsterdam and seattle on klm. and i think it was on alaskan from sea to pdx. the arrival was around 5pm, which still seems like a reasonable time. i saw this offer like 1 week after i had bought by ticket it was posted for about a week, then it dissapeared again, and the lowest prices i saw were about what i paid.

Ticket home isn't at Christmas: 70€ Munich>Edinburgh>Munich on Sleazy soon
"Christmas" flights: RTW ticket just under 1100€, Virgin/Air NZ/Lufthansa: Munich>London>SF>Auckland>Wellington>Sydney>Wellington>Auckland>Tokyo>London>Munich
And I don't know whether to take Lowa boots, Tevas or both. And yes I have housesitters and nothing worth nicking.

I paid 977€ from MUC to PTY through ATL. About 100€ less than the previous year. Booked in July.

Yours sincerely had to get to London last Thursday on the hurry up, so it cost me £250 with Lufthansa when I booked on Tuesday.

Slight problem however when I rocked up at the check-in and they pointed out that I had in fact booked online for NEXT Thursday.

This is possibly the reason I also don't have shoes with laces that need to be tied.

well we are flying home to New Jersey 2 days after Christmas until Jan 12 and paid less than 800€ for 2 (yes 2!!) tickets!

I've paid €104 for Munich-Stansted with Air Berlin. Much cheaper than Sleazy Jet and no fighting for a seat!

JE at least you got the right airport. I've got that wrong before and that was before the days of the internet thingy.

I shall be driving this year. Couldn't be arsed to book a flight and it means I can visit people on the way. Not cheaper than flying though. On the contrary.
