Cheap flights from Chania to Madrid

Spanish school holidays, Christmas, Easter and the summer travel season drive demand on this route more than anything else, and March, the cheapest month shown, sits outside the main holiday peaks. Book earlier when your dates fall in those windows, and if you can move by a day or two, compare weekday departures with weekend ones. The monthly calendar covers October through September, so you can see how each month sits against March without guessing.

Start with what the fare includes, because the extras usually appear as you move through the booking. Wizz Air UK, Easyjet, Transavia Airlines, Jet2 and Eurowings Discover sit on the budget or leisure side, where a small cabin bag may be included and hold luggage, seats or meals are added later. Air Serbia, Sky Express, Olympic Air, British Airways and Aegean Airlines are fuller-service carriers, and their fares more often include a checked bag and a standard seat, though the exact inclusions still depend on the ticket. Since direct flights are not offered, every option changes planes somewhere, so compare the connection time and which airline operates each leg, not just the headline fare.

Getting into town from Barajas is usually straightforward: Metro, airport buses, taxis and ride-hailing all serve the airport, and the ride into central Madrid is short enough to feel like a normal city transfer rather than a long haul. Barajas has several terminals, so check which one your flight uses before you agree a meeting point or book a transfer, and allow extra time if you are connecting onward at Madrid. In the first hours, keep your phone charged, have your accommodation address ready, and watch your belongings in busy terminal and station areas.
