[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I’m considering Madrid, Barcelona, or Naples, Italy as a final destination. Madrid, primarily because the Barcelona flights frustrate me, and we could see the city for a couple of days before taking the train to Barcelona.

Possible layovers include Lisbon, Dublin, Brussels, Frankfurt, Munich.

How long should the layover be to feel reasonably confident (I know nothing is perfect when traveling)? [/quote]

Consider DCA-EWR- to any of those cities. They all have nonstops from there. Just leave a long enough layover at Newark...[/quote]

United has a non-stop to Barcelona starting in March.  I agree also with looking at going to EWR for a non-stop from there.  Just leave a big cushion of time to get there.

I would not do an hour connection. It may work out, but it may not.  Just too much chance to it.  I flew to Brussels last March and the flight left over an hour late.  You just never know.  [/quote]

How do I find that flight from United? Will it not show up until it’s March? I’ve looked through Expedia and sometimes the Dulles website (I think they use Priceline), because I’m open to multiple airlines. I tried Kiwi, but they only came up with $$$$ options. Expedia definitely does not show a direct to Barcelona (unless it’s $2000/person for economy, which I’m not paying).[/quote]

I never use 3rd party websites to book tickets.  I start with Google Flights and go from there.  The Barcelona flight is UA 992 outbound and UA 991 return.  And yes, non-stop in summer will be pricey.  TAP (Portugal) seems to be a little less than United out of Dulles - I might look there.  [/quote]
