Here are some key tips and common discounts to help you save: - **Book in Advance:** Especially for peak travel periods (summer, Easter, Christmas, major festivals like La Tomatina or Semana Santa), booking your flights several months ahead is crucial for the best fares. Prices are dynamic and tend to rise significantly closer to departure. - **Be Flexible with Dates:** If your travel dates are flexible, use Omio's "flexible dates" search feature or explore prices across an entire month. Flying mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) is generally cheaper than weekend travel. - **Consider Different Airports:** Spain has many international airports serving various regions. Explore options for both arrival and departure. For example, instead of just Barcelona El Prat (BCN), check Girona (GRO) or Reus (REU) if you're heading to Catalonia. Similarly, for Madrid, consider other nearby airports if relevant to your itinerary. - **Fly During Off-Peak Seasons:** The shoulder seasons (spring: April-May, autumn: September-October) offer pleasant weather and usually lower flight and accommodation prices compared to the bustling summer months (July-August). Winter (excluding holiday periods) is typically the cheapest time to fly, especially to coastal areas. - **Look at Low-Cost Carriers:** Airlines like Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, and Vueling offer numerous routes to Spain at very competitive prices. Always pay close attention to their baggage policies and additional fees, as these can add up if not accounted for. - **Set Price Alerts:** Use Omio's price alert feature to receive notifications when fares drop for your desired route to Spain, helping you book at an optimal time. - **Consider Connecting Flights:** While direct flights are convenient, connecting flights can often be more affordable, particularly for longer journeys or if flying from a smaller regional airport. - **Student/Youth Discounts:** While less common on budget airlines, some full-service carriers or travel agencies may offer specific discounts for students or young travellers (e.g. under 26).

This allows sufficient time for check-in, baggage drop, security screening, and finding your gate, especially during peak travel periods or if you are flying with a low-cost carrier that has stricter boarding procedures. [/DETAILS] [/ITEM] [ITEM] [SUMMARY]### What are the typical baggage allowances for flights to Spain?[/SUMMARY] [DETAILS] Baggage allowances vary widely by airline and the type of fare you purchase. - **Carry-on Baggage:** Most airlines allow one small personal item (backpack, handbag) that fits under the seat for free. Many budget airlines often charge extra for a larger carry-on bag (e.g., small cabin trolley) that goes in the overhead bin, while full-service airlines often include it. - **Checked Baggage:** Basic economy fares, particularly with low-cost carriers, often do not include checked baggage, and you will need to purchase it separately. Standard economy fares on full-service airlines typically include one checked bag (e.g. up to 23 kg or 50 lbs). Always check your specific airline's policy when booking to avoid unexpected fees at the airport. [/DETAILS] [/ITEM] [ITEM] [SUMMARY]### Are food and drinks included on flights to Spain?[/SUMMARY] [DETAILS] This depends on the airline. - **Full-service airlines** (e.g. Iberia, British Airways, Lufthansa) usually include complimentary snacks and drinks on most flights to Spain, and meals on longer international routes. - **Low-cost airlines** (e.g. Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling) generally do not include complimentary food and drinks. You can usually purchase items from their in-flight menu. [/DETAILS] [/ITEM] [ITEM] [SUMMARY]### Is Wi-Fi available on flights to Spain?[/SUMMARY] [DETAILS] In-flight Wi-Fi availability varies by airline and aircraft. Many full-service airlines, especially on newer aircraft, offer Wi-Fi, often with a charge for usage. Some low-cost carriers are also beginning to offer Wi-Fi services.
