AC - HNL-MAD/BCN - $436 Roundtrip - 866 PQP

Air Canada - Honolulu, Hawaii (HNL) to Madrid (MAD) or Barcelona (BCN) - Starting at $436 Roundtrip for Basic. The base fare is only 50 cents!

Barcelona is a better deal since it has a lower cost per mile flown which will translate into a lower cost per PQP / EQM, if you're just flying this for the miles.

Depart Sunday through Wednesday and return Tuesday to Friday. Travel by May 11, 2024. Purchase ticket by Jan 30, 2024. See below for permitted dates - there are several chunks of dates to check.

Forgot to mention that you can book this directly with the airline. Click through Google Flights to Air Canada's website or search Air Canada's site yourself.

If you're doing this for United PQP's the Standard ticket is a better deal, even though it's more expensive.

Standard
7538 Redeemable Miles
1507 PQP's
Cost per PQP = 40.8759 cents each

Basic
4331 Redeemable Miles
866 PQP
Cost per PQP - 50.3464 cents

Flex
12993 Redeemable Miles
2598 PQP
Cost per PQP - 54.2725 cents

This has been on SF for a few hours now. Not sure how fast dates are going to start disappearing / selling out, but if you want to book do it soon!

This can be booked on United now and more importantly it has been matched by oneworld. The flight from Hawaii to the mainland USA will be operated by AA, but you can find options across the Atlantic on BA, IB, or AY if you want to avoid AA for the long flights.
