We leave on September 3 (a mere 69 days). Off to Croatia this year. We purchased all of our tickets back on February 3. We depart Chicago on AirIndia ($610.60 each) for a direct flight to Frankfurt. We will stay with friends over night in Stuttgart (renting car and driving there) and then fly to Zagreb on GermanWings ($70.35 each). We depart Dubrovnik on 9/21 via TUifly ($77.09)back to Stuttgart, drive to Frankfurt next day and fly AirIndia non-stop to Chicago. Taxes, surcharges and fees amounted to almost $350 per person. The car ends up being about $25.00 per person each way. This is quite comparable to what we paid last year for our trip to Slovenia. No matter, we are going to Croatia!!! Shirley

I was able to obtain three frequent flyer tickets using Northwest for Detroit - London/Edinburgh - Detroit. I purchased a fourth ticket for $1200 on Continental. The tickets were obtained/purchased four weeks before our mid July trip. I was amazed that I was able to get WorldPerks tickets at the base point value four weeks before our trip. Of course, it has made for a very busy few weeks of planning a trip that I would normally spend months planning. Still, I'm not complaining.

Also not Sept., but October from Los Angeles to Rome and then Paris back to LA for $1,200 on Delta (operated by Alitalia and Air France). Could have gotten $1,000 tickets if I was willing to have a stopover. No way!
