Best flights to Barcelona?

Our daughter is going to study abroad in Barcelona Spain and I'm looking for the best experience/carrier/cost to fly her there on 9/1 and back on 12/16.

Any tips or experience?

Edit: I'm not jumping up and down with joy about it, but she's saved her money for it and wants to give it a go.

I do see Barcelona on sale quite a bit, so if I were you, I'd hold out for something around $700 round trip from a major US city. You can always position her there on a local carrier. Anything sub-$1,000 is pretty good these days for Europe.

Use these tools:

flights.google.com

skyscanner.net

Also try hopper.com

Most likely will be a BA, Lufthansa, or affiliate carrier.

Also, "best experience" and "cost" are mutually exclusive.
The Lufthansa 747 I was on last time to Germany was really cramped, the United 767 coming back had a ton more room.

Thanks guys. I'll give them a look.

A quick search with Expedia earlier today showed about $1200 round trip.

Is one carrier better than the others?
