Des Moines, IA to Barcelona in August (MileSAAver awards)
We are planning a family vacation to Spain in August, i itially planning 6th - 17th. Found flights at 30,000 points each way. Looked again today, no more flights at 30,000. This seemed to also happen to flights going to other places in Europe. Seems to be an issues with the return flight. We arent absolutely set on Barcelona, or Spain for that matter, just want to hit some beaches Any suggestions on any good mileage deals, or, at least ones that are 60,000 round trip? I read some comments elsewhere that American does a bad job of posting partner flights. Is this a route i should look at; finding partner flights and calling AA?
Thanks! |
Look at the route maps of AA and Iberia for beach-proximate airports. Keep searching.

Book the trip as two one-ways.

OP: Why a beach vacation in Europe? I understand going to Europe for a variety of reasons, but not really the beaches. |
You can open jaw with a MAD-DSM return, plenty of 30k options. Both Barcelona (3hrs) and Valencia (2hrs) are doable coastal cities by train to Madrid. |

If the 30,000 file awards were on BA (in full or part) will have an award surcharge
