Plan your own trip to islands in December

Where do you start?

Type a city or a country, or pick “Anywhere in Europe” for the cheapest start. From Canada or the US, type your home airport (e.g. Calgary or BOS): trips start with a flight from the nearest of 11 big airports there (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and more), and the budget covers it.

Then fly on toFrom Vancouver, Los Angeles or San Francisco, or an airport near them: a few places in Europe, one long flight on to Southeast Asia, a few places there, and home. Three long-haul tickets, all in the budget.
