Why the whole trip and not just the flight?
A cheap flight is a terrible predictor of a cheap trip. From New York in May,
Reykjavik has the cheapest airfare of a typical shortlist at about $836 —
but the trip runs near $5,600, almost seven times the fare. Hanoi has the
most expensive flight at roughly $2,450 and a trip around $3,800.
Pricing airfare alone points you at the wrong places.
