[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To Paris in May at 2K round trip. Completely wild. [/quote]

There are flights in May available for a third of that. [/quote]

Nobody wants to fly Norse without luggage.

Most want to fly nonstop rather than deal with an impossible 50 minute connection in Lisbon. [/quote]

Do the previously mentioned three day layover in Lisbon. Win win.[/quote]

We don’t have time or money for that. Most people don’t. [/quote]

You are not most people.

I bought tickets to Germany on Icelandair for the last two weeks of August. $1100 each. Could have had cheaper on Scandinavian via Copenhagen but required a 18 hour layover on way back. That could work for some.

Prices after mid August really fell compared to June and July.[/quote]

Most people want to, let’s say, visit Italy for two weeks. How on earth can they add another three days in Lisbon? It’s extra time and extra money (hotels, food, local travel). In short: it doesn’t end up being a real savings. [/quote]

If you have an open mind it does. 10 days in Italy and 3 days in Portugal sounds great to me. It's more fun and economical to visit more places in a single trip. [/quote]

Lisbon is fun for a couple who enjoys food and wine. It’s not exactly a destination for families with little kids. [/quote]

That's on you. You can certainly have a fun few days in Lisbon with kids. At a certain point, some of you just want to spend excessive amounts on travel. People offer a bunch of ways to save thousands, and yall come up with lots of middling complaints. You then have the nerve to complain about how expensive it is, when it's just because you insist on choosing every hit of convenience over price. [/quote]

I don’t see how it’s cheaper when you need to factor in hotel, meals, local transport to/from airport/hotel. The savings really isn’t that much. You basically need to do the overnight or two since the layover isn’t long enough to make it through customs and make your connection—particularly in Lisbon where customs is a clusterfu@&.[/quote]
