out for the following 2 days. Since we were going back to Poland, we didn't want
to spend one day on the train just traveling to Madrid. We were surprised how
inexpensive (can't remember the exact fare) the flight to Madrid was. No advance
purchase - next day flight. The airline was Air
Europa.</STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Sometimes when you purchase
your tickets at the last minute, it's better to buy a round trip ticket and just
use the first half. That's what we did for the Madrid-Warsaw. It was about 1/3
cost of the one-way ticket.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
