I have been looking at the prices of air tickets to Spain since last week and I have yet to make any actual booking yet.
Generally I can purchase the ticket directly from the airlines, through a local travelling agency or an online agency. Prices range from USD 1350 - 2000 depending on the chosen method of purchase. So far, the cheapest airline that fly to Barcelona, Spain from KLIA is only KLM. Well, honestly I am not too keen on flying with KLM again as they're the most boring flights that I have taken so far. Although the services are quite good and the food is pretty delicious.
Buying from a local travelling agency is the most expensive so far and it costs me almost USD 600 more totalling at USD 2000 for the round ticket.
Buying directly from KLM is very reasonable at USD 1400.
Buying directly from online agent (Expedia.com) is cheapest at USD1350. The downside is I have read quite some complaints about expedia.com services and not sure if it's the wisest choice to buy from them.
I think the best option is to go direct to KLM for the peace of mind and I will be able to earn the frequent flyer miles as well.
What do you think?

Buying directly from KLM gives you the most flexibility and if anything goes wrong they are directly responsible. Anyway what's that about the flight being boring? You expect the pilot to do barrel rolls? Nose dive? You want a lap dance from a stewardess? As long as the food is edible and the in-flight entertainment is okay then it's all good. Otherwise L2Sleep! ;p
Well, the in-flight entertainment sucks.... there's only a headphone and a tiny little tv screen along the isle showing shows that you cannot choose...
Oh well.. that's why they're the cheapest :P
