FYI! Iberia is offering fares from JFK to Madrid at unbelievably low prices. They are for Nov '09 (maybe a little earlier & extending into 2010). We booked a Friday departure and a Saturday return for $269 roundtrip, and midweek flights are as low as $221! Go to Iberia.com, these prices include all taxes & fees. Incredible!

Iberia is definitely dipping prices.... booked chicago-madrid-granada for my dad and uncle in april (this was a couple months ago) for 380 round trip.

All of the carriers have dropped pricing. Some of them have to be booked on Tuesday through Wednesday departures.
Any major hub should now have cheap prices.

Off subject but just noted that kk49827 is also in Austin, TX. Small world. Moved down here from IL a couple years ago and have made it home- love it here:-)

Iberia's website crashed this morning from too much traffic - I wonder if it is because of this amazing sale they have going on?

By the way - I tried to book those 300 fares yesterday and couldnt! They were all sold out - the new xmas time low fare for Iberia JFK to Madrid is $471 .. it anyone knows of any xmas time fare sales on other airlines that are anywhere near that incredible 221 that Iberia had let me know please!

I got this in my e-mail this morn.

The Travelzoo Newsdesk has found this outstanding offer from
Delta and other airlines:

SAN FRANCISCO--MARCH 19, 2009-- We just found spring fares
to Madrid or Barcelona from San Francisco at the lowest
prices we've seen in years.

Pay just $425-$461 roundtrip -- including taxes, for travel
through May. These same routes jump to as much as $1100 for
flights in June-August.

Madrid prices range from $425-$461. Barcelona prices range
from $432-$451. However, the $425 and $432 fares can be

Friday and Sunday flights, especially in April.

These fares are unadvertised and could go up any minute. We
