How to find food flight deals on multi-leg/complicated flight plans?
So normally we travel pretty straight forwardly. But currently planning on a trip this October and struggling to get the airfare organized to really pick the best deal. It's a multi country itinerary and would love anyone's recommendations to help us out on finding the best tickets. The specific plan is flexibile so now I'm getting stuck in looking at a thousand possibilities trying to find the best one.
The plan is DC->iceland->Amsterdam -> ?->DC.
So flying to Holland is easy enough just annoying. But the way back we're going to be in Western Holland for work then have 2-3 days free so we figure either pop into Germany or down to Belgium. Have no stong desire either way, so whichever makes the flight home cheapest is a real factor. But it's been really difficult putting this plan into travel/airline sites to compare prices. Not to even mention trying to do flight price trackers. Any tips on how to organize this or do I really just need to sit down with an excel spreadsheet?
I went to Ghent, Belgium last winter and really liked it. You could go somewhere that's easy by train and then go back to Amsterdam to fly back. It'll be cheaper going out of AMS likely so the cost of an extra train ticket might still be cheaper than flying out of a secondary city.
I find that Google flights is the most comprehensive tool for finding flight combinations and has the best filters for layover times, flight durations, depature times, # of connections, etc
