I'm looking for the best way to get form Boston to Pamplona while avoiding Iberia for the USA - Spain flight. (I've flown with Iberia multiples times and the website/app/customer service is difficult.)
I'm thinking:
Delta - Boston to Madrid
Iberia- Madrid to Pamplona (same day with 6 hour layover)
Return flights: Iberia - Santiago de Compostela to Madrid
Delta - Madrid to Boston (same day with a 4 hour layover)
The Delta and Iberia flights can not be booked on the same ticket (unless there is a way to do this that I have not found) which could be a problem if there is a delay with one of the flights on the same day.
Also I'm just realizing that if I fly Delta I'm going to have to transfer from Terminal 1 to terminal TS and I guess that can take about an hour , so maybe four hour layover is not even enough!
I've checked booking through American (Iberia flights), but you can not select seats when booking through American.
I could take trains for the Spain connections, but I suppose if flights are cancelled/delayed, there would be the same problems.
Is there something I'm missing? Any suggestions?
TIA
