[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need more info. An hour is tight. I’ve made it before and I’ve missed some and this is always with carry on only. As a PP said depends on your intl flight from the US leaving on time or not.

Depends as well if there is another flight a few hours later, if you miss your connection.[/quote]

I’m looking at June, and some flights are (I assume) sold out. It is hard to find lots of information about flight options, like how many flights/day for a given carrier between two European cities. Keeping our options open for final destination helps manage prices and shitty logistics, but I feel like my brain is going to break.

I’m also experimenting with multi-city flights, where we would do some sort of triangle with three separate flight trips (like, fly to Brussels, spend a few days, then fly to the final destination, then fly home). Way more expensive that way (like maybe extra $700/person).[/quote]

There are definitely nonstop flights to Madrid and Barcelona from Dulles in June.  Maybe not every day of the week.  Check Google Flights and select the weekly view and non-stop only as the options.  Any day with a price shown means there is a nonstop flight.

As for multi-city, the way to do that is to book the intermediate flight (say, Brussels to Barcelona) separately as a oneway.  There are tons of cheap Euro airlines that are under $100/ticket if booked in advance, even including checked bags and seat assignments.  Just book the multi-city as two flights, say IAD-BRU, and BCN-IAD.  That should price out very similar to just an IAD-BCN roundtrip.[/quote]
