Rome is the pick this week. Here's why.
$513, one stop through Istanbul, and early April before the crowds land
FareSignals
Rome is 76% below what this route normally costs, and early April is about as good as the timing gets before the city fills up for summer. Turkish Airlines routes one stop through Istanbul from Detroit. Taipei, Medellin, Vancouver, and a strong domestic run fill out the rest.

Travel Smarter
💡 Travel Tip: On long-haul one-stop itineraries, pick your seat on both legs at booking rather than waiting — seat maps on connecting flights fill faster than the outbound, and middle seats in the rear are often the last to go.
💼 Travel Essentials: Long-haul flights go better with graduated compression socks like the CEP Travel Compression Socks, which reduce swelling and keep circulation steady on segments over ten hours.
📱 Travel Tech: FlightElite tracks live flight status, gate changes, and delay predictions with pilot-grade accuracy, making it a reliable companion for long-haul itineraries with tight connections.
Destination Spotlight: Rome, Italy
Early April in Rome sits in a good window: past the coldest weeks, before the summer crowds arrive, and with enough daylight to cover a lot of ground on foot.
- Trastevere, on the west bank of the Tiber, offers a dense grid of medieval lanes, ivy-covered buildings, and neighborhood life that runs well into the evening without the density of the historic center.
- The Rome Tourism site covers neighborhoods, museum hours, and seasonal events, and it's worth a pass before you plan since Rome's geography rewards some advance orientation.
- Getting around the historic core is largely walkable, but the ATAC metro and bus network covers longer distances efficiently; routes, fares, and transit maps are available at ATAC.
- One meal in Testaccio, the neighborhood that sits closest to Rome's old slaughterhouse and market, gives you a ground-level read on Roman food culture that the tourist-facing restaurants near the Colosseum rarely match.
Insider Tip: Book timed entry for the Vatican Museums at least a week out; walk-up lines routinely run two hours or more even in shoulder season.
