Whether it's affordable or not is a question only you can answer, but $1300 per ticket isn't unheard of for tickets from the west coast of the US to Europe during the summer, due to the high demand of the summer season. EDIT: It should be noted that Ian M is quoting fares on Virgin Atlantic that have rather limited applicability -- based on the information I've found, the fares are only available for purchase during certain periods in March and April, and not during the summer (which, the last I checked, begins towards the end of June just as it always does). The fare goes up by several hundred dollars on that route -- as it does on most routes between Europe and the US -- once you get into June, July and August. (Selecting random dates in July between LHR and LAX throught the VS website, in fact, returns a price that converts to about $820 US after tax -- a far cry from "about $450." Of course someone can find deals going out of alternate airports, and $820 is certainly better than paying over $1300. (The fact that he's quoting in dollars rather than euro is irrelevant.) And quoting a sale price for someone is all well and good, too, but it's hardly helpful to give someone a sale price only good in the spring when they've made it abundantly clear that they're not traveling until the summer.

In case you haven't noticed they use the € in France so why are you quoting a $ price. You could save money by travelling to London by road or rail and flying to Los Angeles with Virgin Atlantic or similar. Currently you can get Heathrow to Los Angeles return for as little as £302. That's about $450 go to http://www.trailfinders.com Ian M Edit. For those that gave a thumbs down, read the question. The asker is starting from Paris. Ian M
