Why travel Los Angeles to Madrid?
Los Angeles to Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid is the definitive Western European premium itinerary — France's cultural capital, Catalonia's avant-garde design and culinary scene, and Spain's Habsburg grandeur and world-class art museums. Air France's Aria business class makes the transpacific crossing exceptional, and the progressive southward routing from Paris to Barcelona to Madrid is geographically logical.
Why book as a multi-city itinerary?
The LAX–CDG outbound / MAD–LAX homebound open-jaw (Iberia operates MAD–LAX direct) creates the cleanest loop. Air France and Iberia are both major carriers on their respective legs, and the Paris–Barcelona surface segment can alternatively be done by TGV (6h30, city centre to city centre) for those who enjoy rail travel across the Pyrenees. Our specialists build the full fare combination at the lowest available multi-city price.

Planning tips for this itinerary
Paris (4 nights — Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Marais, Montmartre) → Barcelona (3 nights — Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Gothic Quarter, La Boqueria) → Madrid (3 nights — Prado, Reina Sofía, Retiro Park, tapas bars). The Barcelona–Madrid AVE train (2h30) is an excellent alternative to the short flight for the final connection. Iberia's MAD–LAX service provides a direct homebound option, or route via London or Dublin for alternative return gateways.
