Hi, we're hoping to do a ~2wk Balkans self-drive in May/June 2024. I'd like to book award flights now, since we're 11 months out.

I've vaguely researched the a Balkans in the past, and don't have any time to do detailed research any time soon. So I'm hoping to pick a major airport to fly in and out of, just to have flights in place.

Ideally we'd do an open jaw, i.e., flying in to one city and out another, so we don't have to backtrack. But I'm not sure if this makes sense given that I've read that one-way car rentals across different countries in the Balkans might be prohibitively expensive.

Please let me know what ideas you'd have. Thanks!
