Re: Cheapest airfare to Portugal and Spain

Paul Heymont ·
Can't speak too much about SEA-TAC strategies, but I'm sure you'll have to change planes at least once!

Actually I've never had to pay a fee for help when booking something that could not be done on line, but who knows these days. I've done these stopover trips a number of times (NY-Budapest/open jaw/Prague-London w/stopover and then back to NY, etc.) The AAdvantage desk agents, by the way, are some of their best and can...
