To find this flight deal, visit Google Flights and input your departure and arrival locations. Use the calendar feature to browse through available dates and corresponding prices. As I’m located in the DMV area — encompassing D.C., Maryland, and Virginia — I chose Dulles Airport (IAD) as my starting point.

For instance, I discovered a round-trip business-class flight from IAD to Prague (PRG) priced at $1,521, which was the best deal I found for this route until February 2022.

However, that flight comes with a nearly 15-hour layover. For just an extra $4, I could significantly reduce that waiting time by opting for the itinerary below.

Round-trip fares from IAD to PRG varied between $1,521 and $1,537.

Likewise, you can fly from IAD to Rome (FCO) for $1,533 with only one stop each way, both under 2.5 hours.

Here are additional examples of specific flights from D.C. available in this deal:

• Starting at $1,481 round-trip from IAD to Dublin (DUB) for Nov. 12–17. This was the lowest fare I uncovered in my search and includes a nonstop flight on one leg.

• Starting at $1,506 round-trip for a one-stop flight from DCA to Barcelona (BCN) for Nov. 23–30. This was the top flight I found for this deal, especially since it coincided with a major U.S. holiday (Thanksgiving), and both layovers were relatively brief.

• Starting at $1,506 round-trip for a one-stop flight from IAD to Athens (ATH) for Sept. 4–11. Fares for this route did not exceed $1,532.
• Starting at $1,507 round-trip for a one-stop flight from IAD to Lisbon (LIS) for Oct. 8-13. While prices increased through February 2022, all remained under $1,530.
• Starting at $1,514 round-trip for a one-stop flight from IAD to Dubrovnik (DBV) for Oct. 2-9. Prices for this trip rise to about $1,590 in November, likely due to more travelers looking to escape the winter chill.
• Starting at $1,573 round-trip for a one-stop flight from IAD to Berlin (ZRH) for Nov. 8-14.

• Starting at $1,488 round-trip for nonstop flights from IAD to Zurich (ZRH) for Dec. 1-6. This was the only nonstop fare I found among the cities I researched.

With this offer, you can reach pricier destinations at surprisingly affordable business-class rates, such as Geneva (GVA) starting at $1,501, Stockholm (ARN) around $1,500, and Paris (CDG, ORY) for about $1,900.

Since these are business-class tickets, all flight deals include one complimentary carry-on and two checked bags at no extra charge. If you've been eager to experience business class or simply want to pamper yourself for enduring the past year and a half, this is your chance.
