travel to madrid and fly out of madrid back to orlando
Ive seen tickets around 800 and sometimes get them around 720 to 750, but some of them have LONG layovers.
My mom, who is from europe, thinks I can do cheaper. My coworker who used to work for Virgin says I can do cheaper, she gave me some websites but they suck balls.
Do you guys think ill get any cheaper than 720 or I am pissing into the wind? Thanks
What you propose is 'open jaw' ie, you fly into one European airport and out from another. This restricts your travel choices. Also watch for the start of European school holidays in late-June which hike demand. Maybe try to get returns Orlando-London-Orlando, low cost London-Madrid-London as an alternative?
Disadvantage is two journeys, no guarantee of bag transfer, maybe change of airports in London.
Look at these sites for flight combinations:

However, to answer your original question a 'fair price' is what you are prepared to pay measured against the journey time and hassle
