NYC to BCN or MAD

I would like to visit Spain at the end of August. I have looked online for
fares but they seem way high compared to other european destinations, about
$900. What s a reasnable fare for this time of year ? will they come down ?
Thanks

Under $800 is possible.

On major carriers, non stop.

A quick check on www.orbitz.com reveals fares on Iberia, non-stop, of $783
including taxes and fees for 25 Aug - 05 Sep to MAD. BCN is $797 with a
connection in MAD. Open-jaw should be no problem should you wish to arrive
BCN and depart MAD or vice-versa.

On www.travelocity.com the "date range" search is good for getting a feel
for prices. September is MUCH cheaper by the way and in my view preferable
as the weather is a bit more bearable, so if you're flexible I found fares
with Air Europa (actually operated by CO on a 777 which is IMO a comfortable
flight) for $492.50 direct including taxes from EWR to MAD.

There also appears to be a cheap outfit called Air Comet operating JFK-MAD
with fares under $500 for August. Contact details:

Recommend you try them. May not be the most comfortable flight in the world
but it's sure cheap!
