Interesting.......I'm not sure what "normal" prices are since I've never gone before, but my wife and I already booked round trip tickets from San Francisco to Ireland in late March for under $800 a piece.
Like I said, I don't know if that's high for that flight, but what I do know is that we're pretty excited we can fly half way around the world for cheaper than our friends and family are finding round-trip flights to Hawaii or New York out of CA (both say those tickets are going for just over $1000 each).
And I also could be off base on the exchange rates, but when I last looked at it, the Euro, GBP and SEK were at nearly the same exact rates as when I lived over there 8 years ago. Seems decent enough to me!
P.S. Nice spelling on the thread title!
