I'm starting some research. For those of you who travel to Spain in the fall- (Ideally September)-
1. How much have you paid for your ticket in the past?
2. What was the validity of the ticket (how long, 2 weeks, 3 months etc.)
3. What airlines have you gotten the best deal from (AA and United no thank you!)
4. When did you purchase the ticket (have you been able to get a good deal waiting until August, or September or did you buy it waaay in advance)
5. Peak seasons change depending on the airline so anyone discover any magical dates?!

Any/All help is MUCH appreciated! Thanks!

I just purchased a Minneapolis-Madrid ticket for Sept. 18 for US$543+tax. Other departure cities were even less. I got it on the www.Iberia.com site and still appears to be there. Not sure about details, only that it was good for my dates.

I went towards the middle of November this last year to the Canary Islands and paid 652 round trip through trip.com. I flew LAX to Chicago with AA, to MAdrid with Iberia, and to Gran Canaria with Iberia as well. Tickets were purchased in the middle of August.
