When Martinair announced that it would be flying from Orlando to anywhere in the world from just $425 round-trip, it sounded too good to be true. This fall offer includes a whopping 98 international destinations, and while rates to cities in Europe are not particularly interesting, fares to cities like Dubai, Cairo, Cape Town, Tokyo, and more, are priced significantly lower than other competitors. However, keep in mind that taxes and fees – which are not included – will spike the $425 round-trip base fare up at least a couple of hundred dollars. Despite these additonal fees, you’ll still save hundreds by booking this special promotion. Tickets must be purchased by October 15; travel is valid through December 4.
