Krakow with a day trip to Auschwitz is a great way to spend 3 days in a cool smaller city after seeing Warsaw. Food and drink are really affordable in both places (but prices are increasing). We trained it between the two cities.

Gdansk is super cool (like Krakow) and has a WWII museum and beaches nearby (but it may he too cold to visit them in the Spring). We flew there via CPH on SAS.

We want to see Wroclaw next. It is reportedly a little more affordable than the more popular cities.

No, but I am looking into buying tix to see them. The NY show in Sept. is sold out.

The harmonica really stands out on the last half of this song.

re: European Flights

If you have fixed dates and a specific location in Europe as your destination, then Google Flights is the best tool.

If you are not set on dates or destinations and price is a key factor, I recommend signing up for "Going" for a yearly fee (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights) to receive frequent cheap airfare notices.

Going sends you cheap fare email notifications for the US airports you select. It can be more than 1 airport located near you. I get great RT fares out of SEA (e.g., $450 plus seat fees to Gdansk, Poland last year) and have flown out of SFO to Milan for about the same price). Pre-Covid, I flew to LHR for $277 RT and CPH for $470 RT. Some of those flights involved longer layovers.

Going occasionally publishes "mistake fares" for international destinations (e.g., $200 RT to a place in Asia or Europe). But you have to jump on that fare or it is gone in a matter of hours.

8 to 9 months before your international trip is the best window for cheap fares. And the key with using Going for the maximum benefit is being flexible with your dates and destinations.

Good luck.
