I did a quick, completely non scientific, survey of prices for a trip from MSP to each site around the weekend of September 22:
Flight HotelZurich $902 ~$125 Amsterdam $820 ~$150
I am adding Bratislava, which is still a choice:
Bratislava
Plane ticket one way: $1506 (Aug 24, one way ticket MSP --> VIEnna, this is really too much, other direction is not in)
Plane ticket round trip way: $1213 (Aug 24, back Aug 28, round trip MSP -> ORD -> CDG -> VIE)
Plane ticket prices are strange, especially the fact that one way ticket is more expensive than round trip. But it is really so, I checked this two times, first time one week ago, second time today.
To compare, same round trip, but in reversed direction (VIE -> LHR -> ORD -> MSP) is $941. This is what I was experienced also few years ago, when I was travelling to USA - plane tickets bought here are simply cheaper than bought in USA. Crazy.
Hotel is around $170 in downtown, $60 nice hotel outside downtown. Martin
