Trip to Graz Austria From Boston?
I have a friend who currently lives in Graz Austria, while I am currently about an hour outside of Boston. What would be the cheapest way to get there?
Currently through my own personal searching this is the best I could find:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...o+graz+austria
It is 1142 for Boston to Vienna for an 11 day stay.
Ideally I would like to stay for 2-3 weeks.
I have zero experience with international travel so any insight or tips would be appreciated!

Um,
your search does not indicate a 2 to 3 week stay.
And June 2 is right around the corner, you are very, very close to two week advance purchase when prices only go up, and inside one week they go WAY up.
It's easy to get to NYC from BOS. I'd look for flights from NYC to VIE - train travel in Austria is easy and not too expensive.
ITA Matrix, among others, is your friend. I'd book as soon as possible to avoid prices going up even more.
And welcome to FlyerTalk.

Since you mention zero experience with international travel, do you have a valid and current passport?
Worth a trip to your local library or bookstore for some travel guides. I personally like the Lonely Planet series, but there are lots of other fine ones. After you've browsed the options, maybe even buy one to take with you.
Bidding for your air tickets via Priceline might be an option if you are willing to risk early/late departures/arrivals.
That 1142 is actually a pretty good summer number IMO.

Just noticed you cross posted this to Information Desk, which is a FlyerTalk No No.
And since you are not getting many replies here anyway, I'll close the thread per FT rules.
