That's a good point - its just a connection - but I think since I'm planning to leave the airport I'm gonna get hit with more than just a connection.
Brussels-IST shows only $38 in fees. Another +1 on Brussels. Spain is only $36.
I'm pricing those one-way so not sure if things change as a "stopover".
Does anyone know?
Brussels is looking better and better, especially as I can have a waffle for breakfast, right?
