Much like the millions of people who are eagerly anticipating the March 31 return of Game of Thrones, the folks at travel service Kayak.com can't wait for the Season 3 premiere.

To hold fans over until then, Kayak has hidden Easter eggs on its website, the company exclusively told Mashable. People can now plan trips to and from 10 cities in the Game of Thrones continents of Westeros and Essos.

Fans can type the name or "airport code" of the fictitious cities in Kayak's flight search to see how much it would cost and how long it would take to travel to and from those cities.

The transportation options include travel by carriage or ship. A 6620-mile roundtrip in coach from Oldtown to Kings Landing, for example, would take nearly 556 hours and cost $570.

The searchable cities are Kings Landing, Westeros (KLA); Oldtown, Westeros (OLT); Lannisport, Westeros (LPR); Gulltown, Westeros (GUN); White Harbor, Westeros (WHI); Winterfell, Westeros (WFL); Pyke, Iron Islands, Westeros (PYK); Tyrosh, Essos (YRH); Pentos, Essos (PEO); and Braavos, Essos (BRV).

Kayak previously hid Easter eggs for the TV show Lost and a flight to space.
