Delta Air Lines has some amazing deals that allow Long Beach residents to scratch the birthplace of Western civilization off their bucket list for as low as $883 round trip. It's a real bargain considering the treasure trove of important historical sights that await there (the Parthenon and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, for instance), but even travelers who aren't into history are sure to enjoy the stunning, sun-­drenched views from the twelve locals hills, the delicious souvlaki and frappé coffee, and the vibrant nightlife that keeps locals dancing until morning.

4. Fly from Long Beach to Milan, Italy, for as low as $1,099 round trip

Milan is home not only to impressive historical and cultural attractions (the Duomo Cathedral, da Vinci's The Last Supper), but also to a maze of high-­end designer shops that makes it one of the fashion capitals of the world. Plan your trip for late April or early May, when airfare rates are low, and you should have enough euros left over for a nice shopping spree.

3. Fly from Long Beach to Dublin, Ireland, for as low as $1,006 round trip

Dublin may bring to mind pints of Guinness and rowdy pubs filled with the sounds of Irish folk music. You'll certainly find those if you look for them, but Ireland's capital also boasts some fantastic attractions for the whole family, including a huge park home to a herd of wild Fallow deer, Dublinia, which focuses on Dublin's Viking and medieval history, and a slew of museums that range from archeology to Irish whiskey. Ireland's own Aer Lingus usually have the best deals on this route, and you'll find the lowest fares from mid­-April to mid­-May.

2. Fly from Long Beach to London, England, for as low as $994 round trip

Hop onto one of Delta's affordable flights and you'll be touching down in Heathrow two stops and about 15 hours later, ready to tackle London's iconic attractions and monuments.
