Turkish Airlines offers a fare basis code that allows you to hit most of Europe for about $760. The best part? Free stopovers and open-jaws! In this post we dissect a round-trip to London and put it back together into a multi-city monstrosity that visits Barcelona, Istanbul and London for only $18 dollars more.
10/24 UPDATE: The base cost of this fare has been reduced by $100 USD. So instead of Europe for about $760, it’s now $660!
12/02 UPDATE: Prices have increased by +$100 for most of 2015.
Here’s an idea: Fly to Istanbul then to Venice then take the train to Rome before flying home for $774 + $49 for it all. This post highlights how adding an open-jaw to your itinerary really opens up what you can do in Europe. Don’t just mope around in one city!
[10/08/2014 @ 8:16 PM] Updated itinerary links to use different dates due to the old dates in this post expiring.
