Summer is expensive & crowded. Weekend usually costs more. Compare prices through different way of booking - i.e. direct with the airline website, talking to travel agent, and online ticket booking.

Prices have risen in the last few years. When we first started dating, we found roundtrips in the Winter and Fall between Brussels and Atlanta for as little as $500, with Spring and Summer fares a couple of hundred dollars higher. Recently, we have had to pay anywhere from $750 to $1000 no matter what time of year we travel. As soon as she receives her AP, we are going back to Belgium for a visit--the first since we got married--and I am dreading buying the tickets.
