I know most people seem to like flying direct to their destination but I'm quite happy to go all over the place, especially if it gets me a decent price or takes me to an interesting place/airport. The most flights I've managed in one round trip was 9 or 10. Most websites seem most interested in finding you the shortest flight with the least number of flights at the best price. But I'd like to know if anyone has found a decent site that will find you multi-stop flights that go interesting routes. I may have to do Toronto to London soon and the best I've found at an affordable price is Toronto > Zurich > Dusseldorf > London Heathrow. Does anyone else share my bizarre pleasure and have a site they can recommend? Thanks.

Skyscanner. Not sure it will give the results you want.

Un-tick direct flights

Can't help but if you can avoid Heathrow then that has to be a massive bonus. What a shithole.

Head for Points usually comes up with some heavily discounted Business Class options if you start from Norway, Germany, Netherlands and so on.

Well not totally rubbish. I have used skyscanner and kayak to see who offers lowest fares then also gone direct to airline websites to see what they offer on similar dates. Sometimes you can then fill in a gap with a low cost airline you might not have heard of before that is operating a short haul part of a viable route. I once got Emirates to sell me a collection of flights in Asia (incorporating independent overland travel) they initially thought they could not sell!
So Toronto - London? Might be cool to go via Greenland? (I haven't checked so don't slate!)
