Summer travel deals to Spain are normally some of the most difficult to come by. But right now, several Star Alliance and SkyTeam airlines are offering heavily discounted tickets from Oneworld hubs such as Dallas (DFW), Philadelphia (PHL), Miami (MIA) and St. Louis (STL) to many cities in Spain including Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD). These discounted fares are valid for departures in August through mid-December 2016. The August flights are pricing out at a slightly higher cost, but still at or under $500 round trip. Most itineraries include a stop at a SkyTeam or Star Alliance hub, but there are a few nonstop options.
