Travel to Spain

The best way to keep posted as to the best flights available to Spain or to any other locality is to subscribe to the following services:
http://expedia.msn.com
http://www.travelocity.com

Both have a service that will notify you via email as to the latest prices and inform you of any flights throughout the world. All you have to do after enrolling is to indicate your departure city and your arrival city and every now and then you will receive up-dates as to the price changes etc. I have used this service several times for other trips and it is excellent. Incidentally there may be other sites, which have the same service.

When I initially prepared my flight I received an email indicating that the price from Montreal to Madrid drastically dropped if I were to travel during mid November. It is interesting to note that even the passenger agents at Iberia did not as yet have this information when I had called them on a Sat night!

After reserving my flight for my wife and myself about 6 months in advance, I was in for a “shock-a-Roo” when discovered one day while surfing the Net that Iberia no longer was flying from Montreal to Madrid. When I called them as well as my travel agent, I was informed by Iberia that they were only willing to reimburse me my airfare and they were not willing to book me on another flight from Montreal to New York where I could pick up the Iberian flight to Madrid. If I want this change I would have to pay extra, but don’t forget to take a few magazines with you on your flight.
Also don’t forget to take your Spanish Courses before you make your trip over to Madrid.
