How about flight to 8 cities? $1,597 is exactly how much I spent purchasing my plane tickets to Dublin, Barcelona, Madrid, London, Athens, Istanbul, Bangkok and Sydney.
Most people are utterly shocked they hear this. I say this not to boast, but to break the misconceptions so many people have about the cost of travel. You can find shocking low prices when you have some flexibility. I used Farecast by MSN to find the lowest price and Expedia to book the flights (Tip: Expedia currently has a $0 booking fee special, including international flights).
Flights are especially inexpensive right now, so take advantage.

Just one day after your post Farecast has changed the name for Bing Travel but your link still works.
