Good to know. So the stop-over on the night before and a cheap priceline room it may well be

And just to clarify - i'm technically returning from Venice, and for some reason the program "strongly suggests" flying out of VCE. Though it appears there's not many options from VCE that routes easily back to TPA, so i figured i'd reverse my plan on the way back and hop from VCE to ORY via Myair ($60) and spend the night or catch EC back to JFK.

Long story short, i need to do TPA-PAR arriving June 1st and departing July 6th VCE-TPA.

My current plan is B6 TPA-JFK, EC JFK-ORY - spend a month in Paris, take a train to Venice and see the Biennale - fly Myair VCE-ORY, EC ORY-JFK, B6 JFK-TPA. All-in should be about ~$2000 and that's in prem+. AirFrance and Continental were both ~$1,600 in econ.
