Any agent can find you direct planes, at full fare. To cut fares you could look at Athens to London and London to Madrid on http://www.cheapflights.co.uk. <BR> <BR>You might like, too, to see the sites for two no-frills airlines, htp://www.easyjet.com for both legs of your trip, and http://www.virgin-express.com for London to Madrid. <BR> <BR>If time allows you can take a morning bus for eight hours from Voyages Liossis, 50 Chalkokondyl Street, Athens, to Patras, then the Adriatica boat 14 hours overnight to Brindisi, have a day in Brindisi, and by taking sleepers in night trains can have a day each in Rome, Nice, and Barcelona, or a day each in Milan and Barcelona. It will cost you a deal more than the no-frills planes. <BR> <BR>Ben Haines <BR> <BR>

Ray <BR> <BR>You haven't given us a date but I tried 10th August on Expedia for the cheapest tickets between Athens and Madrid and two selections,Iberia and Lufthansa, came in at around £185 per person, one way. <BR> <BR>There's a good chance that the price will decrease (or increase for that matter) depending on the exact date of travel. May be worth checking the site out at:- <BR> <BR>http://expedia.msn.co.uk/ <BR> <BR>I haven't a clue what the U.S. site address is but I think the same information will be on both. <BR> <BR>Another address to have a look at is:- <BR> <BR>http://www.tiss.com (sign on as a Guest User) <BR> <BR>Bill

Try www.lowcostairlines.org <BR> <BR>This site lists airlines with lowest costs for travel within Europe. <BR> <BR>Guidebooks also claim that Athens is the center of discount airfares within Europe .. but this means risking not getting your tickets until you arrive in Athens. <BR>
