Still trying to figure out where to go in the Summer? How about Spain for under $700! Competitors have these at about 2x the price. These won’t last! Don’t dwell on it.

Summer Europe Fare is an irregular feature of sub-$1,000 deals to Europe. It does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion. The feature exists because its one of our most common requests.

Here’s what we found:

• Barcelona (BCN) – $670
• Madrid (MAD) – $682

(Prices might vary by a few dollars depending on routing)

There is also availability to Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Malaga for under $700 with Delta’s partners KLM, Air France and Alitalia.
