It’s like domestic first class…
Spain is fun to the max. Beautiful sunsets, late dinners, buzzing culture and views for days – and that’s just Barcelona. Add in the beautiful Basque country, sophistication of Madrid or the wild nights on Ibiza, and your trip just got incredible. But the whole trip can be incredible. While $500 flash sales in economy are cool, it’s tough to beat just $300 more for premium economy seats which rival (or beat) the comfort of those found in domestic first class within the US, boasting extra points and miles and other perks to boot.
The Premium Economy Deals
American Airlines is touting their brand new Premium Economy cabin, with seriously spacious and luxurious seats. But that’s now caused Air France to join in on the battle for your travel bucks, and to back up American – British Airways and Iberia have jumped in with their own premium economy deals. The result: $799 and up premium economy deals to Europe, round trip! Whoever you book with, your ride to Europe just got a whole lot more comfortable. There are fantastic deals from New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and Miami to Madrid, Ibiza and Barcelona. Oh and hot tip for ya’, Iberia will fly their state of the art new Airbus A350 from JFK to Madrid after August.
