+1 on BA. Just account for the $130 you will have to pay when you land there, assuming you have a US passport.
You can also look into GIG. You need a visa there as well, but the flights have been cheaper.
Turkey sounds like your best bet. No visas that I know of, assuming your fares book into 100% eqm accruing fares.
