zereo262quick, You're killin' me, man! :o I can't leave UNTIL March 22nd! ARGH! (you won't believe my route in order to use my #$%&@ frequent flier miles: Columbus (OH), Cincinnati, San Francisco, Paris, Madrid)

Those ARE GREAT FARES you've quoted above. I signed up for the www.Orbitz.com newsletter (It's GREAT-just got one) and they list some GREAT fares from US cities to Madrid and BCN, but all travel must be completed by that dreaded date of March 20th.

Saludos, MadridMan
