Flight Hacking: 5 Music Festivals, 6 Weeks, 3 Continents

So I have a unique situation, and I was actually considering using your site to help me solve it.
My girlfriend is flying to Prague and Rome for 2 weeks, just before our 7 year anniversary. My plan is to show up in Rome on Oct. 24, surprise her, and pop the question.
I'm trying to figure out the fastest and most cost-effective way to get to there from Toronto. The other constraint is that I'll likely be in San Francisco for Startup School on Oct. 20th.
Is it possible for me to somehow get this kind of request fulfilled?

Hope she doesn't ready HN :) Yes, we can absolutely handle that. Are you just looking for your flight, or also your gf's? If both, it's usually better to run 2 contests if the departure/arrival place is different. Either way, this is where using humans over machines excels (i.e saving the time of searching yourself and having peace of mind you're getting the best flights).
The flight would be just for me, since she's in the dark about what's going on, and she's handling her own bookings.
She definitely doesn't read HN. Heck, I could post it on twitter and she still wouldn't read it.
I'll see if I can put up a contest this week.

Typo? That link says the lowest was $2,569.

I can't wait to use this for a vacation. Are you all getting into the hotel and event booking too? I could see that making this service even more amazing.
Absolutely, but just trying to nail flights first, which isn't easy
I'm seeing airberlin (flying to europe) and airasia (flying within asia) quite a lot in these flightfox contests.
I wish flightfox.com would let us (regular users) run cool contests like this. The options for running a contest are much more limited than this.
Hi thurn, you can absolutely run the same contest. We just had a school contact us about running a contest to fly 50 students across the world; they'll run that themselves. If you have a particularly cool contest, let us know and we can help generate interest and maybe even run it for you as a showcase contest.
Woah this is awesome. I've been terrible with flight planning but this is a great read.
Note: This contest was hosted by us (not a customer) to showcase our experts' flight hacking skills. It's in the same vein as our previous round-the-world itinerary to 6 continents all in business class, which came to as little as $2659 http://flightfox.com/rtw
