Cheap flights from Brindisi to Madrid

April is the low point for fares on this route, so flexible travellers should start there. Prices then climb through late spring and summer, firm up around school holidays, Easter and Christmas, and can ease in quieter winter weeks, while weekends and late bookings usually cost more than midweek departures planned ahead.

The fare you see first usually buys only the seat on the low-cost carriers such as EasyJet, Ryanair, Volotea, Wizz Air and Malta Air, with cabin bags, checked bags, seat selection and priority boarding added as extras, while the full-service end, represented here by Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines and ITA Airways, more often bundles a checked bag and seat choice. Aer Lingus and Air Baltic can fall between those two approaches depending on the fare brand, so reading the fare rules matters more than the airline name, and because direct flights exist you can compare a nonstop ticket with a one-stop itinerary that may use a different carrier and a different set of inclusions.

Getting into town from Madrid Barajas is straightforward, with metro, commuter rail and airport buses all linking the terminals to the centre, and the transfer feels longer at peak times than the map suggests. Check which terminal your flight uses before you land, because moving between terminals can take extra time, and if you arrive late at night make sure your chosen transport still runs to your accommodation.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether a one-stop itinerary is issued on one ticket or two separate bookings, because separate tickets leave you to fix a missed connection.
• Check that every leg uses an airport you are happy to connect through if your route is not nonstop.
• Pack to the baggage rules of the carrier you actually fly, since low-cost fares on this route often charge for cabin and checked bags.
• Check passport and entry requirements for Spain before booking, even for a short trip.
• Compare April dates with school-holiday and summer prices before you commit.
• Confirm which Madrid Barajas terminal you will use, as transfers between terminals can take time.
