Depends really. I can tell you that I just purchased a ticket Paris to Guatemala round trip last week, to travel mid june thru mid July and I got it for Euro 550 all taxes included. This is about US$750. Normally this ticket costs Euro 1100 to 1200. In fact I was going to use miles but this offer came up so I decided to save the miles for December. It is for my GF's daughter who studies law in Paris.

Also, two weeks ago I was checking the prices to visit my parents in South America, Chile. Round trip purchasing the ticket 3 weeks in advance at the time, was about US$600, which is also a great deal, normally this is also about US$1200.

So basically to answer your question, during this time where people have cut back on traveling, I think that the airlines, looking at short term travel, and the the flights are not full are discounting the airfares.

I would keep your options open, the summer season is about to start and when the airlines look that flights are not full, they will begin to discount.

Also, believe it or not, check out the airlines web pages for sale offers. I was looking for a ticket for my sister to travel Madrid to Guatemala and all the usual discount online sites were at Euro 1,000, but I checked Iberia's website and found the airfare directly for Euro 634 for same dates of travel.
