Poland & Copenhagen in $430s-$540s RT

Garfield had it right, Mondays really are the worst. We think we have the cure, though—a smorgasbord of northern European fares that can fix those beginning-of-the-week doldrums.

Let's dig right in:

• Chicago, you've got fares to scenic spots all over Poland, from Krakow's spooky underground plaza to the delightfully charming Rzeszów old town. That last city is apparently pronounced "ZHESH-oof," by the way.
• Los Angeles, you're getting flights to beautiful Warsaw. And if you want to skip the layover, you can fly there non-stop for about $70 RT more.
• Atlanta has flights to Warsaw too, but you can also land in Gdansk or Copenhagen instead. Travel in November to catch one of Europe's best Christmas markets!
• Everyone else, Copenhagen is your only option. But a trip to one of the most gorgeous cities in Europe is hardly a consolation prize, especially since most of you are getting free checked bags.

Bet these could get Garfield to crack a smile, even if it is a Monday :-)
