Help me find cheap tickets!

[7254278]

Hey guys,
I am planning a trip to paris to visit a good friend of mine. I am in madrid. I do not care how I get there, train, plane or bus are all fine. But no matter where I look I cant find anything under 150euros which seems ABSERD, considering paris is so close by. Can anyone help me find cheap tickets? Be it by plane, train or bus? Maybe one of those airlines is having a cheap sale or something. I need help I am really new at this.

I would like to leave the 31 of oct or the 1 of Nov MADRID-PARIS
I would like to return the 4 or 5 of Nov PARIS-MADRID

I did a quick search and found a fare on easyjet for 166 euros tax included, and that doesn't seem out of line. That price is more than fair for that roundtrip.

150 euros for that trip sounds sort of reasonable to me. Remember you're travelling between two major cities. Usually if you want cheapo airline tickets you have to fly to the lesser known airports.

You could always hitch-hike

At a Amsterdam Centraal I saw a sign advertising for 25 euro tickets from there to Madrid. I can't imagine that going to Paris is that much more expensive. If all else fails try Madrid to Amsterdam to Paris...
