Transatlantic flights are seasonal. A $500 fare in February becomes an $800 fare in May becomes a $1300+ fare in July. So yes, the do go down, but at this point, you’d need to wait until after mid-August to benefit from some routes starting to drop to Fall “shoulder season” pricing. We’re currently in Spring, also “shoulder season,” runs until May 31 for most routes; you might find a handful still at shoulder season pricing if you depart before mid-June. After that, you’re peak season, and flights are very full.

Summer sales are rare, and when the occasional one happens, usually not very good. You won’t find a $500 fare in Summer if the going price is $1300. It’s nearly as rare to find it for $800, or even $1000. Last summer was an anomaly, and we actually did see some like this, but it was a perfect storm, and that has never happened quite like that in my 14 years of tracking transatlantic flight prices, on an almost-daily basis.

It wouldn’t hurt to sign up for some sale fare alerts if you haven’t already—with Bookingbuddy, Airfarewatchdog, and/or Farecompare. Just don’t hold your breath for a super cheap fare. $900-$1100 based on your criteria, is what I would expect, but of course I do not have a crystal ball, and past sales are no guarantee of future offers.

I see CHI-DUB June 21-July 11 $730 using the links in our new user thread.
