Route notes
Why this routing works
This route is built as a compact two-week transatlantic trip: Seattle to Dublin first, then onward to Chania for the longest stay, before returning to the U.S. with a stop in Portland and finishing back in Seattle. The sequencing keeps the Europe portion together before the itinerary turns westbound for the trip home.
With 2 nights in Dublin and 10 nights in Chania, the timing is weighted toward a single primary stop rather than multiple short hops. That structure can simplify the middle of the trip, since most of the time is concentrated in one place, while Dublin works as a brief opening stop before continuing deeper into Europe.
On the ticketing side, this is a true multi-stop economy itinerary rather than a simple roundtrip. It combines an open sequence across Ireland, Greece, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest, which can be useful when the goal is to link a short city stop, a longer destination stay, and a domestic stop before returning home.
August travel falls within the listed July to September season, so the routing is timed for late-summer departures. At a sold range of USD 1,385 to 1,806 in economy, this itinerary shows how a transatlantic multi-stop can be structured with three distinct stop points over roughly two weeks.
