Why it's a deal: A recent Kayak search produced a $1,275 multicity flight (New York City–London–Dubai–New York City) for travel in mid-November (Virgin Atlantic). For $90 more including all taxes, this package also covers six nights' accommodations.
More: This package is completely customizable; add nights in London or Dubai to create an itinerary up to 14 nights long. The default hotels at the $1,169 price are the Days Hotel Waterloo and the Panorama Bur Dubai, but there are hundreds of hotels to choose from at that price or higher prices.
