Late night fun with US Airways. Out of all the European countries, we probably go to Spain the most. Our favorite! Normal price for LAX – EU (excluding Sweden, Norway and Denmark) have been running over $1,000. So this is a nice discount.

Here’s what we found (airport code next to city name)

• Madrid (MAD) – $719
• Vigo (VGO) – $741
• Bilbao (BIO) – $745
• Barcelona (BCN) – $753
• Malaga (AGP) – $790
• Seville (SVQ) – $809
• Tenerife (TFN) – $819
