United and Star Alliance partners have round-trip flights from Houston (IAH) to Madrid (MAD) or Barcelona (BCN) starting at $485 with a connection. Flights October to December.
Update: There have been several price drops since this was first posted. If you booked within 24-hours ago, you should be able to cancel the more expensive fare and rebook with the lower price.
- Example Dates: MADRID (Priceline / Travelocity) Oct 05 – Oct 12 / Oct 12 – Oct 19 / Oct 21 – Oct 28 / Nov 03 – Nov 10 / Nov 10 – Nov 17 / Nov 14 – Nov 21 / Dec 01 – Dec 08 / Dec 08 – Dec 15 / Other dates: Use the fare calendar below for ideas.
- Example Dates: BARCELONA (Priceline / Travelocity) Oct 05 – Oct 12 / Oct 12 – Oct 19 / Oct 21 – Oct 28 / Nov 03 – Nov 10 / Nov 10 – Nov 17 / Nov 25 – Dec 02 / Dec 03 – Dec 10 / Other dates: Not a lot of availability. Midweek has the most availability.
- Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy to make sure that another airline or website isn’t offering a better deal or better routing.
- If you plan on buying travel insurance, we suggest that you buy it directly from Allianz. United is re-selling Allianz travel insurance without Change Fee protection, or Missed Connection coverage; these are two of the most useful protections you can have. By buying directly from Allianz, you can usually replicate United’s offer for cheaper, or pick up additional coverage that United has omitted.

I was able to pull this up on Priceline and Travelocity. Be sure to check both sites for airfare. Barcelona had better routing on Travelocity. Screenshot taken at 2:23 PM on 08/12/16.
If you plan on booking a hotel, use our travel coupon codes to save up to 15% to 20% off. Alternatively, you may be able to save the most money by booking your trip as a Flight + Hotel package on Priceline, Orbitz, or Travelocity.
If you want to see other deals that are still bookable you should check out the “Bookable Deals” page on our site. It filters out deals that have expired, or have low availability.
Note: OTAs such as Travelocity and Priceline allow free cancellation without penalty within 24-hours after purchase. As deals sell-out or expire quickly, this policy will allow you to “lock-in” the cheap fare while you sort out a plan. Just keep in mind that after 24-hours, you will not be able to cancel without the regular penalty. On Travelocity, you can easily see if your ticket allows a free cancellation, just look for “FREE Cancellation” next to the button to purchase the ticket.
Most airlines also offer 24-hour free cancellation with varying policies. For example American Airlines allows you to “Hold” a ticket before payment for 24-hours but once you pay for it you can’t cancel without a change fee or penalty, even if it was purchased less than 24-hours ago.
