Route notes
Why this routing works
This 6-week multi-stop itinerary is sequenced as a continuous west-to-east transatlantic move from San Francisco to New York City and onward to Madrid, then continues to Las Palmas before turning back across the Atlantic to Mexico City and HUX, ending in San Francisco. That structure keeps the long-haul segments grouped into a logical loop rather than repeating the same crossing twice.
With 13 nights in New York City, 8 in Madrid, 7 in Las Palmas, 7 in Mexico City, and 8 in HUX, the timing is balanced around medium-length stays instead of rapid stopovers. That makes the route workable for travelers who want fewer flight days across a 6-week window while still fitting five stops into one ticketed plan.
As an economy-class MSI itinerary departing in December, this route sits in a published sample price range of USD 3,013 to USD 3,944. The ticketing value here is in linking North America, Europe, and Mexico in a single sequence, which is typically easier to manage as one planned multi-stop itinerary than as a series of separate one-way bookings.
Because the route begins and ends in San Francisco, it functions as a closed-loop trip with clear start and finish points. The stop order also separates the two Spain stays into back-to-back segments before the return toward North America, reducing unnecessary backtracking within the overall itinerary.
