Cheap flights from Belo Horizonte to Madrid

Book as early as you can once your dates are fixed, because seats on connecting long-haul itineraries are limited and the lower fares sell first; November is the cheapest month shown, while December, July and August are usually dearer, and weekday departures are often better value than weekend ones. If you can shift by a few days, look at the price calendar for the weeks around school holidays and Christmas, since those periods tend to lift fares on both sides of the Atlantic.

Because there are no nonstop flights, every itinerary connects somewhere, and that connection adds time, a second boarding and sometimes a change of terminal or airport. The airlines shown are Azul, LATAM Airlines, GOL Linhas Aereas S.A., TAP Portugal, Iberia, Azul Conecta, Latam Airlines Brasil, Swiss, American Airlines and Lufthansa; some fares are basic and charge extra for bags and seats, while others include more, and the rules vary by ticket rather than by brand name alone, so read the conditions before you choose.

If you land late in the day, the last trains and buses may have gone and a taxi or pre-booked transfer is the simpler way into central Madrid; Barajas sits outside the centre, so allow time for the metro, train or bus even in normal hours. Check which terminal you arrive at, because moving between terminals takes time, and keep your passport and any onward booking handy for border control.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or separate tickets, because a missed second flight is yours to fix if they are not protected.
• Check which airports and terminals each leg uses, especially if you change planes in a large hub.
• Check the baggage allowance on every leg, since a low fare on one sector can charge for a bag the other includes.
• Check passport validity and any visa requirement for Spain before you pay.
• Check the total travel time, not just the cheapest fare, because a long layover can erase the saving.
• Check the arrival time in Madrid, since late arrivals change your options for getting into the city.
