Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

Air Canada, Icelandair and Norwegian (no surprise there) are offering cheap round-trip flights to Scandinavia starting this fall, with flights departing from Philadelphia (PHL), New York (JFK) and Boston (BOS) bound for Stockholm (ARN) and Copenhagen (CPH). Flights are available from September through October of this year and then again in February 2018. Keep in mind that Norwegian's tickets may need to be booked separately for maximum savings.

If you're willing to make some major life choices just for the sake of saving a buck, consider booking your hotel stay through Sweden's Countryside Hotels. Its 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee covers divorces, meaning you can get a refund on that two-night stay if you don't have a fairy tale ending. You and your soon-to-be insignificant other can even enjoy your last hurrah with TPG's top 10 guide to Copenhagen and Stockholm.
