  1. Have a look at Hotel Jazz at the top end of las Ramblas. We stayed there 2 years ago and are staying there this year. It is really handy, has a great breakfast and also a lovely good sized pool and terrace. You can check it out on trip advisor as well for good reviews [emoji1]

     

    We booked there for one night, pre-cruise. Great reviews!

  2. I got two one way tickets from DCA to BCN for $11.20 total with points on AA. It will cost me more to fly home from NY after the TA. I knew there was a reason I was hoarding those points. [emoji41]

     

    I AM JEALOUS! Have a fabulous trip.

     

    Rarely do air fare come down as they tend to work on a tiered price structure. so many at one price and so many at a higher price and so on.

    Once the cheap ones are gone they only ever go up.

     

    Once you see a fare that sound reasonable go for it as chances are you won't see them at that price again.

     

    I used to work in a travel agency and have seen it first hand.

     

    Makes sense. Glad I went ahead and booked. I'm really happy with the nonstop flight over. A little concerned about the 55 min layover and plane change in Munich, but we will manage.

  3. The cruise will be part of a bigger trip for us. Eight days in Ireland, 5 in Paris, 2 in Athens then the cruise. We used Kayak "hacker fares". Basically they find great 1 way deals. We were able to fly Myrtle Beach to Dublin, Dublin to Paris, Paris to Athens & Barcelona to Myrtle Beach for $1517 per person. It's a bit complicated. You have to make 3 reservations, but to compare Delta was $3200+ per person at their website for the same itinerary.

     

    What a deal and I'm jealous of your other plans! Enjoy!

     

    I also booked through kayak. DC to Barcelona and Athens back to DC, non stop on the way out: $1078. I'm very pleased. The rates may go down, but I knew I would feel comfortable at less than $1100 pp, so I booked.
