All of these one-stop flights offer roughly the same fares but if you're looking for the cheapest fare, a good option is a two-stop flight on both Swiss Air and Vueling that has layovers at Zurich and Barcelona Barcelona-El Prat (BCN). Another two-stop option is on Iberia Airlines with stops at New York John F Kennedy Intl (JFK) and Madrid Barajas (MAD), although using the same airline for both legs will cost more in comparison.
