Buckle Up, Buttercup: Flights to Freedom
The good news: Ibiza is within reach! The bad news: it's not exactly a hop, skip, and a sangria. We're talking transatlantic flights, folks. Think of it as an investment in your sanity... and tan. Expect to be airborne for around 12-17 hours, depending on connections. Pro tip: Pack an inflatable neck pillow that doubles as a flotation device in case of emergency... or just because.
Non-stop vs. Connectogeddon? This is a battle as old as time (well, at least as old as budget airlines). Non-stop flights are the dream - you, a movie, and a questionable in-flight meal. Connectogeddon, on the other hand, can be an adventure (or a nightmare, depending on your tolerance for screaming toddlers and delayed baggage). The choice is yours, grasshopper.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Alrighty, how much are we talking here? Airfare can fluctuate more than your mood after a bad slice of pizza. Generally, expect to spend anywhere from $500 to $1500+. Be flexible with your travel dates and a flight comparison site [alternative to Kayak] can be your best friend.
Ibiza, Here We Come (…Eventually): What Else to Consider
Airport Adventures: New York boasts three major airports: JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. Do your research - some airlines might only fly out of specific ones.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Customs Chaos: Coming back with a suitcase full of sequined clubwear and questionable souvenirs? Brushing up on customs regulations might be a good idea. Nobody wants a vacation ruined by a bureaucratic snafu over glow sticks.
¡Hola, Espa�a!: Brush up on some basic Spanish phrases. A little "gracias" (thank you) and "cerveza por favor" (beer please) can go a long way.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
