United airfares

On the off chance anyone's looking for a weekend trip, uh, right now, Washington-Paris showed up on United's list for this week.

International E-Fares
Sample fares are for travel beginning Monday (August 21, 2006) through Thursday (August 24, 2006) and returning Monday (August 28, 2006) through Thursday (August 31, 2006). Additional taxes and fees apply.*

From: To: Roundtrip:
Washington, D.C. (IAD) Brussels, Belgium (BRU) $690
Washington, D.C. (IAD) Paris, France (CDG) $791

Brussels is 90 minutes on the high-speed train, so that could work too. I'd even meet you there. Mmmmm, Belgian beer ...

By the way, I know only a few of our friends and family live in DC, but I don't see a lot of fare listings for other places direct to Paris. If anybody knows how to search for "anywhere in the US to Paris" let me know.
