Are London or Paris cities you want to check out? Or did you just think that would be cheapest? Because right now, with summer Air Transat flights to London at $1300, you likely wouldn't save a whole lot.

I could go via any city...not tied to London or Paris if there is a substantial cost saving.
No problem, I was just wondering whether you wanted to go via a different city purely to save $$$ or because you wanted to visit additional cities on your trip.

If it was purely to save $$$, the point I was trying to make was that it might not be worth the hassle. Basically at this point it would be $1900 on Air Canada vs...

Air Transat $1300 to London
+ flight to Vienna ($60-$90ish)
+ flight back from Budapest ($100ish)
+ all the stupid little extra charges the inter-Europe airlines will tack on
+ the fact you would have to fly on different dates for the Air Transat flight than when you wanted to go
+ whatever it costs to get between the airports and the cities
+ the fact you might have to dish out for a hotel in London or Paris so that you can stay there the night before you leave so you don't miss your flight home

But if taking in an extra city on your trip is something you wanted to do anyways, it could be worth the hassle and possibly save some cash.
