Europe
What is the quickest way and which program to get a free ticket to Europe? Either Spain or London. Thanks

Welcome to FlyerTalk

It might help to know where you are originating from, and what routes you fly.

What airlines do you have frequent flyer accounts on? What balances do you have in those accounts? Do you have any airline credit cards?

I know Iberia gives only 30% of miles on selected cheaper fares. US has good connection to Madrid. CO also.

Welcome to flyertalk Kaution25. American Airlines offers award tickets to Europe for only 40,000 in the off season, Oct 15 to May 15. You can use the award on their partner airlines too. Generally speaking, American has very good availability, so you shouldn't have a problem trying to book an award on American or one of its partners. Good luck. Have a great trip.
