Update:The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

Has it been too long since your last churro with chocolate? Or perhaps you’re just antsy for a $2 glass of Cava?

Whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered with cheap fares from the West Coast all the way to Spain. Let’s take a look.

Fare Deal — Details

While these flights are going to be operated by low-cost carrier, Level, you’ll be hard-pressed to find cheaper rates. At just $398 round-trip for your nonstop flight, you’ll find yourself landing in Spain with plenty of time — and cash — to spare.

• Class: Economy
• Routes: Los Angeles (LAX) to Barcelona (BCN)
• Dates: September 2024 to January 2025
• Rates: As low as $398

We’ve found plenty of availability on flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Barcelona (BCN).

A quick look at the fare calendar shows that you’ll find quite a few dates with these prices. If you’re struggling to book the $398 rate, there are also many dates selling at just $425.

Note that since Level is a low-cost airline, you’ll need to pay additional fees for things like checked luggage and seat selection. Even with these fees, however, you’re still looking at paying half-price compared to regular flights from the United States to Europe.

Best Ways To Book

Generally speaking, you’ll find the cheapest prices for flights when booking with an online travel agency (OTA). However, you’ll want to be wary when choosing to do so. OTAs are notoriously unreliable when it comes to flight changes or cancellations. Instead, consider booking directly with the airline if it’s not too much more — they’ll be much more likely to help you out in the event things go awry.

If opting for a direct booking, use a card that’ll maximize your spending, such as The Platinum Card^® from American Express. The card earns 5x Membership Rewards points on bookings directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com (up to $500,000 in purchases per calendar year).

We value Amex points at 2.2 cents apiece, which means the 2,235 points you’d earn from that ITA Airways booking would be worth nearly $50!

Final Thoughts

Don’t let people tell you that travel isn’t cheap. With this fare sale, you’ll pay less than $400 for a round-trip ticket from the West Coast to Spain. At that rate, how could you choose not to go?
