GREAT/TERRIBLE NEWS! ¡ME VOY!
Just bought my ticket to Madrid for mid-June and DID pay the Sky-high airfares! ARGH!
I checked (Obritz, Expedia) online and found the best deals wouldn't get me into Madrid until the next EVENING
and included 2-stops. So instead, I decided to pay MORE, get into Madrid in the morning, AND only have 1-stop (JFK).
I'm flying on Delta and originally considered a somewhat cheaper, 2-stop flight on Air France (I love Air France; great food & bread, free wine, and individual video monitors) but I'd get into Madrid at something like 8pm the next day so no thanks. Also, during the summer months, Air France is NOT a codeshare partner with Delta.
In the end I booked through the
www.Delta.com website as it was cheaper than on Orbitz plus I get extra airmiles for doing so. Tried to use my airmiles through Delta but nothing was available - big surprise.
So that's that. This'll be my first visit to Madrid/Spain during the summer months so let's see how I survive the heat. I'll be there until June 29th - only 11 days.
Saludos, MadridMan
