As part of its extended seat sale offer, Air France is cutting its fares to several destinations across Europe and the Middle East. The present move by the airline follows the ticket price hikes across the industry, when a strategic cost cut over the ticket prices shall invariably attract prospective passengers. To avail this discount offer, passengers need to make their bookings before 5th August 2008 either through the online portal or using Air France's US-based 1-800 number. The date of flights can be scheduled anytime between 1st September and 29th October, which proves to be ideal for planning an autumn travel.

Most surprisingly, the lowest fares are made available in the most popular New York to Paris route. Provided the passenger can purchase a roundtrip ticket, the price of the ticket is only $314 each way. Also, those looking forward to travel between Philadelphia and Madrid can find the tickets of Air France priced from $353. Most notably, this trip involves making a connection in Paris.

Similar to several other discounted offers, there are a few restrictions that need to be complied with. For instance, booking under this scheme requires a stay-over on a Saturday night. Over and above, the return journey must be scheduled within one month from the date of departure. In addition, the tickets booked under this offer are not flexible in the sense that any changes required should involve an additional charge of $200, which does not include any addition to the price of the ticket.
