How we worked it out

  • For each of the 168 cities with non-stop flights, we found the cheapest round trip that visits two other countries, one city in each, with 2 to 4 nights in each place and non-stop flights only.
  • The first flight leaves between 7 October 2026 and 5 November 2026, and the trip ends back where it started.
  • Prices are the cheapest fares travellers saw on Aviasales up to 6 October 2026, per person, in euros. They are fares seen, not quotes: the price when you book can differ, and each flight is a separate ticket.
  • The price with cabin bags adds each airline's usual fee for a small cabin bag where the fare leaves it out. Where an airline's fee isn't known, it counts a typical one and says about.
  • 135 start cities have no such trip in that window: their flights stay inside their own country, or don't reach two other countries on later days. They show as hollow dots on the map.
  • This ranking is dated 6 October 2026. Each city's own page has trips from the latest fares.
