Default What's a good flight price?

1) If I'm on the west coast in the US (Cali) trying to catch a flight over to europe, what's considered a good price in peak season (depart June 20, return mid-Aug)? 1600 round trip? 1200?

2) Which is the cheapest place to fly into? London? I wanted to start my trip in Italy and end in the UK, but don't know where to get an open jaw ticket and am wondering if the price is worth it compared to round-trip. I mean, I could spend 20+ hours and just eurail it down to Italy using a London round trip ticket?

3) Since you can book only 330 days in advance, would I get a sucky price if I try and buy round trip (cuz I have to wait until Aug 2006 shows up, which means I'll only buy my June departing ticket 11 months in advance, not 12)? Would the price difference pay for an open jaw ticket? Where do I GET an open jaw ticket?

I wanted to start in Italy cuz I hear it gets really hot fast, and am hoping visiting the Cinque Terre in June will be slightly LESS crowded than in July. Thanks for all your help, guys!
