Customization

Every journey on our website should be viewed as a template that can be tailored and adjusted to suit your preferences. Consequently, no travel itinerary is set in stone. In principle, you have the flexibility to embark on your journey on any day of the year. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that certain travel dates might be more optimal than others, especially when considering flight schedules, other modes of transport, and various logistical factors.

In such cases, Spain is More may include either the outbound or return flight, or may choose not to include any flights at all. We will provide you with advice and recommend the most advantageous option. All flight bookings are subject to the airline's terms and conditions, including policies regarding delays, cancellations, and baggage. Unless stated otherwise, each ticket includes one checked bag, with size and weight limits according to the airline's policies.
