Contact: British Airways, 877/428-2228, ba.com/spring.

Why It's a Deal: The lowest round-trip fare we've found between New York City and London in early March is $502 (Air India). You'll save about $50 per person--and receive the three-night stay--if you book through British Airways instead.

Trip Details: The Spring into Europe package includes round-trip airfare on British Airways and three nights' accommodations in Athens, London, Paris, Prague, Rome, or Vienna. The starting rate of $449 per person is based on a stay in London at either the 343-room Tavistock Hotel or the Royal National Hotel near Oxford Street and Covenant Garden. Extend your stay for about $50 per person per night.

Here are the starting rates for the other destinations, based on New York City departures: $545 for the Ibis Paris Berthier Porte de Clichy, $562 for Vienna's Harmonie Hotel, $566 for the Ibis Prague Karlin, $571 for Rome's Principe di Piemonte, and $654 for the Philippos Hotel in Athens.
