Is this trip reasonable?

I was planning a trip for next summer. I was thinking 3 days in Spain, 4 days in France, and 4 days in England. Is that too much, or did I allow myself enough time? These time frames do not include travel time. What would the estimated travel times be if I planned it Spain->France->England?

From where in Spain to where in France, and how will you travel, train, plane, or car?

We want to hit Zaragoza->Barcelona. Then hit Paris and wind up in London. We're open to any travel suggestions, whatever is the most reasonable.

Both easyJet and Vueling fly from Barcelona to Paris Orly, and easyJet and Air Europa fly from Barcelona to Paris CDG but won't be easy to find cheap flights from the US to Barcelona. It might be easier to find a good deal to London, then take budget flights or the Eurostar train to Paris. You could then take one of the above flights to Barcelona.

You could either look at "multi-city" flights so that you could arrive in London and leave from Barcelona, or you could find a good RT deal to London, taking budgets to Paris, Barcelona, and back to London to catch the return home.

We're definitely open to flying in and out of the cities in any order, it doesn't matter to us!

Definitely consider taking the train between London and Paris. Train stations are centrally located (saving travel time and $$$ to/from airports) and don't require the advanced arrival time that flights do, or the wait for luggage.

Hello. My husband and I just spent some time in Paris, London, Zurich, Lugano and Lucerne. We were there fromn May 23-June 23. We spent 7 nights in London, 6 nights in Paris and two weeks at the other locations. We absolutely loved London and Paris. We went all over by the railroad. We used the "Gray Line Tours" for day trips in London and Paris. They are wonderful. We are in our 60's. Elaine Obermann
