Ryan Air can't help you it seems from a quick look..... Help Us help you! Where in Austria will you be, what day do you need to go/arrive, and what budget are you needing? |

Outbound.. good to hear from you!
I'm working on this one for you, it's a toughie!
Will post again in a short while - it's tough finding an airline that flies out of Austria and into Spain for a reasonable price.
Are you definate about Austria? You might save some big bucks flying from Germany.

OK, this is the best I could find you (I'm using Salzburg as I don't know where you will be in Vienna) *This is only good for Friday, Oct. 10th as the prices were way cheaper than the rest of the week. PLAN ONEOne way with Ryanair, Salzburg to London Stanstead 22 Euros 9:50am - 10:40 am Change airports in London. One way with Easyjet, London Gatwick to Madrid 66.49 GBP 12:10 - 15:45 or for more time in between which is probably a good idea: PLAN TWOOne way with Ryanair, Salzburg to London Stanstead 22 Euros 9:50am - 10:40 am Change airports in London. One way with Easyjet, London Luton to Madrid 66.49 GBP 18:00 - 21:30 Your grand total (in US dollars) with taxes and airport fees would be $178.07 Here's what I would do. Find yourself a few travel agents when you get to Austria. Explain your situation and see what they can come up with. Try to visit a few as we found it made a drastic difference what one person would say over another. If you can't find anything cheaper that that, go to the websites and book them online. www.ryanair.com/ (go to the Book Now in the right hand corner of the screen) www.easyjet.com/Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Oh....I said no go on Ryan as I assumed he would not want to go all the way to London to do it. What is that cheap airline in Germany now.....can not remember the name right off. Could he perhaps get back to Munich and do it from there??

Yeah, I can't find anything else that is cheap besides going through London.
I found one direct flight for 900 Euros.. what the hell! Doesn't seem to be too much that is reasonable leaving from Austria.

Skyeurope.com and Germanwings.com have flights from Vienna, but neither goes directly to Madrid (although I think Germanwings.com has some flights from somewhere that go to Madrid). I know this program has restrictions and might not be viable, but take a look anyway: www.europebyair.com/ |

I didn't find cheap flights directly from Austria to Madrid. 2 places nearby where you can fly to Madrid are Munich (with Air Berlin) or Venezia (Volare). You'll find them on this site: www.aerfares.net/v3/index.php |

Why is the time here 2 hour ahead?
I can understand one hour difference because of DST, but why 2??

You have to set your own time in your profile, Nit.
The company that owns the board software sets it as a default, I guess it's their time zone.
That's why you will notice if you set it to your time zone in your profile, when you are logged in it will say your time, then when you log out it goes back to the default.
Good to see you!

OK. I fixed it.
I don't understand why the time offset was 8 hours, when it's normally 7... now it's only 6 hours because we no longer have DST...
