With a June 2009 launch, we welcome Air Europa, Spain’s second largest airline, to a new US to Europe route. Founded in 1986, Air Europa today serves 44 destinations. including a large part of the Spanish territory, as well as cities in Europe, the North of Africa and Asia.

Some of the most popular destinations for the low cost carrier are Paris, Milan, Rome, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Hungary; Lisbon and Porto in Portugal; Tunis, Tunisia and Marrakech, Morocco in North Africa; and Beijing and Shanghai, China in Asia. Transatlantic routes from Spain include flights to Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and now, the USA.

In honor of the new route, they have announced a promotional fare for service between the States and Madrid. Beginning June 1, when Air Europa launches daily nonstop service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD), the fare will be $490 plus applicable taxes and fuel surcharges. A search for late June fares actually returned an even better $496 round trip for adults and $446 for kids under 11 years, including taxes, quite a deal at the beginning of summer.

Later in the year, after the summer peak period, the airline will have a special low season fare of $159 that is valid beginning October 29 through December 13. That inaugural fare is good for midweek flights, must be paid upon booking, and travel must be completed by December 13.

Air Europa will fly 299-seat Airbus 330 aircraft in two-class configuration. For further information about Air Europa and bookings, contact your travel agent or visit AirEuropa.com.
