is this a good price for my CO flight?

I'm looking at tickets for a flight from HAM to NYC in late august but since I'm not originating from the US I'm kinda lost on whether the local (=german) websites are offering me good deals here.

a return business flight to EWR on continental, which is the only airline offering a direct connection, is being offered at €1,682. not too bad but again I have no comparison when it comes to european tickets. does this strike you as a reasonable offer or do you think I could make it cheaper (in business or premium eco) to NYC?

I'm okay with stopovers, btw.

Kayak is your friend.

Not knowing your flight dates, I've done a quick search for the last week of August, and come up with tickets smack dab on the EUR 1680 range. Economy tickets are about EUR 400, FYI.

For that time of the year in non-steerage I think that's a pretty solid price.

ita software is the place to go for this question.

ITA just gave me prices that were 150% what Sidestep and Orbitz found for three different test flights. Same dates, same flight numbers.

weird. Never seen that before. I was under the impression its the same database w/o the fees added on.
