Germanwings has a neat, if rather odd, promotion for people who love to travel but aren’t set on visiting a specific locale.

For 19-39€ inclusive, customers starting from six German cities can make a ‘blind booking’ and get a cheap ticket to any one of a number of destinations to be revealed when the booking is completed, depending on their starting point.
For a small fee, it’s possible to exclude cities you don’t want to visit (for me that was Zweibrücken, home to Germany’s largest rose garden — in February!), and it is neither difficult nor expensive to cancel if you change your mind. Even on discount airlines, you’re unlikely to find a cheaper ticket to Istanbul, Paris, Krakow, or Rome.
