Your flight prices look strange to me, this year flying to mexico from
Austria (its nearly a neighbour to bosnia), a two way ticket, did me only cost
about, 900 USD and this price was including a travel insurance.
(the flight was munich -> london -> mx )
Maybe there is some price optimization possible, which airline did you choose
to get prices above?
for example:
(searched via travel-overland)
- two-way ( = 2x tickets)
- New York J.F. Kennedy (JFK)
Sarajevo (SJJ)
and back
- Mai 2007 (search for june 2007 isn't possible)
- EUR 1.051,64 (including 16% taxes)
~ 1366 USD
