Orbitz/Expedia (AZ/KL/AF): LAX-FCO/AMS $1,617
Have to use the package holiday feature on Orbitz to get the fare. Can simply select the cheapest hotel to lower the fare as much as possible. Not sure if you have to check into the hotel for it to work. Seems to be similar to the aavactions deals that sometimes occur. Not sure if there is a minimum stay requirement.
Sample Date for FCO: 3/9/18-3/18/18
Sample Date for AMS: 3/8/18-3/18/18
Sample Date for FCO: 3/9/18-3/18/18

For something similar on DL/AZ/KL/AF, do the same itinerary on Delta Vacations where you can specify a "throw-away" hotel for just 3 nights (and there's no need to check in).
Package cost comes to $1562.25 (when booking just three throw-away nights)

Great find! Any length of stay limit?
Thank you. I want to buy this for my annual Europe escape. My questions:
1. Is there a length of stay limit? I cannot find deals more than 28 days. I usually stay for 6 to 7 weeks.
2. Must this be for two persons?
3. What is the travel period? Can't find deals with my dates.
I hope *A and OW match.
Thank you.

How do you get a partial hotel stay? I find this option on the Orbitz website, but not on Delta's.

Can you explain how to do you a 9 day trip 3/9-18/2018 with only 3 night hotel? dont the hotel length will go the same as the day of the trip which it will be 3/9-18/2018? because I try to book the same as you but there is no option for me to select the hotel for just 3 night instead of 9 night? thanks!

I booked one to Rome for $1.5K in the spring, chose a cheap hostel for one night my first night. Not sure if I have to go check into but I may just do it just to be safe and it’s only one night, enough for me to go inside the Colosseum or something before booking a separate ticket elsewhere in Europe. Thanks for the post OP!
