This is an old revision of the document!

Transportation

Airfare (assuming the dates July 13th to July 28th (Tuesday to Tuesday))
- Aer Lingus was $950 total round trip non stop from Dulles in Novemeber
- December 2009
  - Dulles (DC): United Airlines is $1050 direct (Aer Linugs is now $1400) (I think it is the same airplane, times are the same)
  - Philadelphia: US Airways is $1055
  - Newark: Air Eurpoa $741*, Iberia $1019, Everyone else about $1055
    - Air Europa gives you a little off for the kids, so it is 3k total on Airbus Industries A330-200 direct from JFK (NY) to Madrid

travelers flights taxes	sub total
2 adult(s) x (469.00 + 330.99)	= 1,599.98 USD
2 child(ren) x (352.00 + 330.99)	= 1,365.98 USD
total for all travelers	2,965.96 USD

Madrid public transportation passes for 5 euros (1/2 off for the kids): http://www.gomadrid.com/transport/travel-pass.html

Pepe Car has quite a selection also, and you gotta love the name.
EuropeCar had the:
- 1.9 TDI Audi A3 (in the eco friendly section and a slightly different one in the Sport section) for about $772 for 2 weeks.
- The A4 was $1200 for the 2 weeks.
- The A6 2.7 liter was $1400.
- VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN 1.9 is $715 so the kids would probably like that. Not quite a van, but tall and easy to see out of.
- VW Passat Station Wagon for $987
