  Too bad there is nothing to LA

  By the time you’ve flown to Spain and then on to Amsterdam, (don’t forget to factor in time sitting there during boarding twice) you’ve spent just as long in an economy seat as flying direct. Someone will still decide it’s worth it, no doubt 😀

    There are also deals via New York without going via European hubs and open-jaws. About £1200 New York out, Boston back with Delta from Madrid direct. It works around Easter as well, but for longer stays (14+ days).

    yes, never really understood these ‘deals’. Why would you spend hours detouring (at significant expense)? Don’t people value their time?

      You’re asking on a frequent flyer website why people would want to divert via another country to try different business class products, fast track themselves to elite airline status and earn a pile of miles …..?

      Time is relative with these things. The number of employed people with a fixed leave allowance is probably about 1/4 of the adult population. The other 3/4 are not tied into your rigid schedules of fixed annual leave – we’re talking the self-employed, students, retired, solvent unemployed, digital nomads etc.

      The BA Montreal flight leaves London at 5pm. Too early for a work day, wastes a weekend/vacation day. For me, these skyteam flights get in earlier and (assuming I could get to Barcelona after work) actually save time in terms of time at destination. Bigger issue for me is two sectors on short haul planes with young kids. In a couple of years this will be game on, and I value my time plenty!

      I question the use of the phrase “at significant expense”. I do trips like this multiple time a year and my positioning flights rarely cost over £100 (for round trip travel). If I have to stay overnight, the hotel never costs me more than £100. Yes, you could spend a lot more than that if you wanted to but there is rarely any need for “significant expense” and the savings can be huge.

    There is the Aer Europa flight from MAD to AMS on a 787 at about 7am and returning about 11am which offer flat beds as well. Admittedly, getting to MAD would likely be in an economy seat.

  If the date restrictions do not work for some people, I find ex Dublin departures to the US on SkyTeam usually offers similar prices to these Spanish ones year round.

    Agreed, and you can often find OneWorld fares from Dublin that are decent. We flew DUB-LHR-LAX-LHR-NCL for about £1250 each this summer, with a night at a Dublin airport hotel thrown in to make it a BA Holiday. Shame we had to fly BA 😂

  I booked flights with Iberia in September for flights this month, LHR-MAD, £78 return. Offered an upgrade on each leg for £45 each way. Couldn’t grumble at that. Outbound was an A350.

  When is the booking deadline?

  As ‘frequent flyers’ we have no problem with reward flights from AMS…KLM or MAD…Iberia. Usually same day connections.

  Also seeing BCN-JFK direct with Delta for £1086, (albeit with a not so great B767 seat)
  Great value and thanks for posting this deal. Keep them coming!

  Advise please.
  I have a BA 241 business class booking from Inverness to New York. Cost 100,000 Avios plus £1,360. 777 Club Suite both ways
  I could cancel and go from Madrid. Cost £2,224.80. Delta 330-300 out, KLM Boeing 777-200 in.
  I’ve never been to Madrid, so could take this as a bonus to spend some time there.
  Financially looks quite similar. How does Delta/KLM compare with BA?

    Delta 332 is reverse herringbone 1-2-1 seating. Best seat after Delta One Suites. KLM 772 are still 2-2-2 seating. Not all direct aisle access, but OK if travelling with someone.
    I’d go Delta on this aircraft type.
