Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

If you're looking to visit Spain soon, you're in luck. Strong competition from low-cost carriers has driven prices down to major España cities Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN). The cheapest flights right now are nonstops on low-cost carrier Norwegian — while you can use its US website to book these flights for cheap, you can save more by using an international version of the site. Just make sure to buy your ticket with a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees.

The easiest way to find these deals is to search for cheap dates via Google Flights. Then click through to Orbitz, Expedia or the airline directly to book your tickets. While the Norwegian options are cheaper using the foreign website trick, most of the other airline itineraries are more straightforward to find and purchase.
