Cheapest airfare to Portugal and Spain

So, I’ve decided to go on a trip starting in Lisbon, going to Porto and ending in Barcellona (thanks for the advice, PHeymong!).  How can I get the best airfare rate?  I’d like to fly from SEA-TAC to Lisbon, then back to SEA-TAC from Barcelona.  How soon before the trip should I buy?  Is there a website I should follow prices on?

 

Appreciate any help you Gumbo guys can give me.

Can’t speak too much about SEA-TAC strategies, but I’m sure you’ll have to change planes at least once! Try to avoid any that change at London, because of the British Air Passenger Duty on the way home, and the huge hassle of Heathrow.

 

I did a little random searching for next July, using an open-jaw plan: Fly to Lisbon, train to Porto, fly to Barcelona, fly home, and found fares around $1600 on offer. Lisbon is not that competitive a city, so one strategy would be to keep an eye out for sales. If you can snag a cheap roundtrip to Barcelona, $150 will buy you BCN-to-Lisbon and Porto-to-BCN for the middle part. The main carriers on those routes are TAP, Iberia and Vueling.
