It's about the same from Boston too. A couple of them go from BOS to JFK to Paris.

From a quick check...the cheapest flight out of LAX would be $1126 and 14 hours flight time. That's with one stop. It just gets worse from there.

My wife and I will be there...This will be our third trip to Paris in the past year. Nothing like Disneyland Paris and Jimmy Buffett all in one trip.

They tried to route me through Houston as well. Direct flights would run me 100,000 miles. With the stops in Houston is was 75,000...the extra 25,000 are well worth it.

So are you going to book it?

Save your money for Tahiti Larry. Carol and I are working on getting a group to rent a villa.

I may just do that. I went to Paris last year, I've never been to Tahiti. Besides, I'd rather hang out with you and Carol then Kevin.

I saw that flight too.......it's listed for about $275 with the rest in taxes and charges

Found non-stop flights from Atlanta on the 18th returning on the 20th with hotel room for $2350 total for two guests. We already are spending a week in St. Thomas, USVI in October and have a seven night cruised booked for January, 2009. Oh what the hell, I gotta figure out something really good for dinner tonight so I can convince my lovely wife that we should go. I promised her we would only go see Jimmy in small venues from now on like NOLA in this past May. Maybe some nice ribeyes on the grille tonight?

I guess I'm lucky, if my wife gets her way we'll be at Paris,Hi and Tahiti. I get the easy part..... trying to pay for it.

DON"T DO IT!!!!!! My oldest daughter HAD to fly home from Paris on Air India, she complained the the "meal" still had feet on it and the smell on the plane was revolting! She never complains about anything!

I've flown Air India, best to go with some other airlines.

$2300 might need to be more than that... Wagyu sirloins minimum..
