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.More airlines are lowering their fares to Barcelona (BCN) — perhaps we have a fare war on our hands. Many of Monday’s fares from US cities to BCN are still available, but we’re also seeing low fares from more cities, even from the West Coast. You can fly from San Francisco (SFO) for as little as $462 and from Los Angeles (LAX) for $467. We’re seeing low fares from both Star Alliance and Oneworld partners.The easiest way to find these deals is to search for cheap dates via Google Flights.
