Spain deal alert: Fly to Madrid from Boston, Miami and New York City from $319 round-trip
Madrid is a perennial favorite among travelers and is best known for its museums, foods and stunning historic sites such as the Royal Palace. Now, thanks to a new fare sale by TAP Air Portugal, you can travel to the Spanish capital in the fall and early 2025 at a solid discount.
Departure cities in this deal include Boston, Miami, New York City and Washington, D.C., and the travel window is between October 2024 and April 2025. Availability varies by route, and, as is usually the case with some of these deals, the absolute cheapest prices must be booked through an online travel agency.
This sale is for economy fares. A carry-on bag is included, but checked luggage will cost between $75 and $100 each way.

Sample flights
TAP Air Portugal has round-trip fares from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) in November for just $319, a nice price for this route.
TAP also has good availability in January for flights to Madrid out of Miami for $359 round-trip.
You can book a trip to Madrid from New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in November for $410 round-trip.
We found a few nice fares out of Boston, too. You can fly TAP out of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to MAD in late October for only $347 round-trip.
You could save quite a bit of dough on this route, per Google Flights data.
There are discounted prices for travelers in the Washington, D.C. area, as well. We found flights from Dulles International Airport (IAD) to MAD in November for $369 round-trip.
