To get to our Nov 4th cruise on the Voyager we're planning to be flying to Rome from Madrid on Nov. 3rd, having flown to Madrid in Business Class on Air+ Comet (Air Plus Comet?) from JFK on Oct 30-31. The cost is just too low not to try - $836 pp - about half the next lowest business fare, plus less than $100 each from MAD to ROM. We have a few days before we have to firm up this flight and plan. Anyone have experience with Air+ Comet and/or ideas for hotels in Madrid (good or avoid) please advise.

Thanks very much
