poorgradstudent — I’m seeing $807 r/t from LAX to Berlin in April. With one stop each way. NOT horrible.
Customers at smaller city airports like SAN tend to get shafted as far as airfare abroad, unfortunately. Cheapest 1-stop from San Diego is $1237. There’s a two-stop round trip for $100 cheaper, but that involves Aeroflot, which flies over a disputed part of Ukraine where SAM sites are in use. No thanks!
