It seems like every time we post an amazing sale to Europe like the one from yesterday, the deeper we dive, the more destinations we find with discounts.
Spain continues to be one of the treasure troves of terrific flight deals and while Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD) fares regularly dip low its rare for us to see flights to smaller Spanish cities and islands drop to below $250 on major carriers like American, Iberia, and British Airways!
Flights to both the Canary and Balearic Islands are on sale from New York at these insanely low prices, while other U.S. airports are seeing price drops to mainland Spain. Even neighboring Portugal is getting in on the action between select city-t0-city pairs.
Have a look below at our list of sample fares to see what's available from your nearest departure airport.
Travel Availability
Travel days vary slightly by the route, but for the most part, you'll see availability leaving Sunday through Wednesday, with returns available Tuesday through Friday.
Departures from the USA are available on select dates from late October through the end of the booking calendar in March/April 2020. Flights in September can usually be found for $70 more, which is still some spectacular value for that time of the year.
On select city-to-city pairings, a nonstop option may only be available on one leg of the journey at these prices. 7-day minimum stay required.
Peak holiday travel times in late December and early January are blacked out.
Sale Period
This sale is unadvertised, and fares may jump at any moment. Try many different sites if you are finding prices jumping as inventory is going quickly and may still be available on another booking engine.
