I found this site by searching around Travelzoo.com
https://www.tripmasters.com/
It bundles hotels and airfare like lots of sites do, dropping the cost of the flights portion (at least from Tallahassee) by a ton of money. Expedia does this to a lesser degree as well, but w/them (and other aggregator sites), you have to take off and land at the same airport...which isn't usually practical when traveling internationally.
Tripmasters' interface is way better. It let's you book flights + hotel + trains, all at once, from multiple destinations.
For example: May 4-11, 2018. Fly from Tallahassee into Vienna for 3 nights, then take a train to Prague for 3 nights, then fly back to Tallahassee out of Prague.
Granted, the hotels that Tripmasters defaults to are only 3* (which isn't terrible, but not great either) and not necessarily in the city center, but still you could skip the hotels altogether and still make out like a bandit when you compare it to the cost of just the flights themselves.
I suspect the "deal" element probably isn't as good when you compare it to major airports where the cost of flights are generally cheaper, but getting flights that cheap out of Tallahassee is close to unheard of, barring one of those flash sales that you have to be ready to pounce on, and that typically only last 6-12 hours before they're gone.
Check it out if you have some international travel coming up.

- Tripmasters: $1,280/person or $2,560...for everything - flights for 2, train for 2, and 6 nights in hotels.
- Google Flights: JUST the flights = $1,800/person...or $3,600, before you even book a place to stay.
