Just as an FYI. I know everyone wants to secure a flight right away (myself included!). However, there could be some interesting developements next summer when the new "Open Skies" agreement takes effect throughout Europe. This agreement allows any airline to fly out of any airport in the EU to any airport in the US (of course there are some restrictions).

For example, Air France just announced that they are going to fly from LAX to London Heathrow. British Airways has been hinting that they are going to fly from JFK to Paris and other Euro cities.

This will break some monopolies on some routes and may even get some nice fare sales (even in business class!)

Just a thought.
