re: Booking Flight Segments Separately

You're the man, Cuse. Here's our itinerary:
Jun 23 20:00+: IAH -> FCO
There's a flight through Istanbul with Turkish Air that we'll likely look to book. We get off work at 3 and then 2.5 hour drive to IAH, so not a lot of flexibility here
June 26 FCO -> CTA
June 28/29 CTA -> SPU
July 8 SPU -> IAH
Any advice on how we should tackle this (e.g. all one-way segments) and when to look to book would be greatly appreciated. I've set up a few flight trackers in google flights. I'll likely book the first flight pretty soon as it's currently $1,000 (which seems on par with some of the more recent versions of this flight) and it's probably our least flexible flight.

Whatever you do make sure someone on the trip is paying for the flights and that credit card is with them.
That many one way international bookings is an good indicator to be flagged somewhere along the way for checkin in person.

First question: Are there any closer airports to your house than IAH? Not sure which direction you're coming from. If you get off work at 3, you might be able to make it to a closer airport and catch a 5:30 or 6pm flight.
Second question/thought:I'm wondering if you should book this as a multicity IAH-FCO and SPU-IAH. If you book multicity tickets, most of the us airlines throw out the one-way prices. After browsing though, it looks like your best best is actually two one-ways to/from the US. I'll post what I found below
June 23- one way
Leaving out of IAH after 20:00 is tough. Looks like there's a turkish flight, a british airways flight through LHR, and an 8:15pm flight also through london.
$1036 for a one-way on turkish

July 8
One way SPU-IAH is $1149
Double connection in Copenhagen or Stockholm then Chicago or Newark (on SAS/United).
LINK
This to/from europe will be around $2185 if you booked today.
June 23- July 8 multicity
$2507 on british airways
Depart IAH at 8:25pm, 2 1/2 hr connection in london, arrive in Rome at 5:50pm
Returning July 8 at 7:45am or 11:50am
Multicity
For your FCO-CTA flights, it's $49-$65 for a one-way

CTA-SPU is pretty pricey and there's no nonstops. Best I can get is $119 on June 28th
LINK
Grand total would be $2369 for everything for one person so just double and it's $4738. I'm not sure if this is a good deal or not out of IAH since I'm not sure of the average prices to europe out of IAH. Hope this helped
