I am planning a trip to visit my boyfriend in Paris, France this summer in July–to the end of August. I am very flexible with the dates and times I fly (any, basically). Any tips on how to get the cheapest flight possible would be great! Any tips about traveling to Paris, France would also be appreciated. 
July to August and cheap do not match. That is high season. Go to a travel agent specialised in flights and have them ring you up when they see any hot deals. Also sign up for email alerts from airlines. Look for flights from big airports (like New York, Chicago, Miami). Book your ticket soon, don’t wait until late June or July.
Tips about travelling to France – pack light and take a good guidebook. Rick Steves, Let’s Go, Lonely Planet and Rough Guide are all good for independent travel on a budget.
Bring at least 50 EUR (75 USD) for every day of travel.
