United – About $700: San Diego – Madrid / Barcelona, Spain. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

A great sale to Spain. Madrid is going for $710 via (United) and Barcelona for a little more via Star Alliance (United, Air Canada, and Lufthansa). To ensure maximum mileage accrual, the carriers you should take are:

• United
• Air Canada

These are K class fares, anything outside of those two, you will not earn anything with United. If you fly Air Canada, the segments between the US and Canada are only 25% mileage earning.

Per The Flight Deal, also available from Los Angeles.
