🔥 Kuala Lumpur to Geneva ($461) / Paris ($478) (return, bags vary) Sep - Mar
Not sure when fares to Europe started dropping under $500 return. Not at all sad about it, either.

One stop en route. Flights to Geneva are KLM basic economy, which only include 12kg hand luggage. It costs around $48 each way to upgrade to a baggage inclusive fare. Flights to Paris are on Qatar and include 23kg checked luggage.

Travel tip: "Paris' bike-share program (Vélib) is the most fun way to get around town! You'll find bike rental stations all over the city where you can subscribe to a rental for a few days. Don't be shocked by the deposit required for your rental - it will be returned to you a week or so after your rental ends. We saw so much of the city and packed picnics in our bike baskets to enjoy in the gardens and under the Eiffel Tower."
