I’m not really sure why, but you can get really really cheap flights around the world right now.
These are all from Travelocity.com using the “Search all dates for best fares” button.

Amazing.
I really really want to go travelling again. I’m thinking that maybe my new idea for this summer, if Dad can get our papers sorted out is to maybe go a little earlier, fly into Istanbul and make my way by land to Tehran, which according to Wikitravel should take 2-3 days. That would be super super cool.
