Airlines and what to expect
Connections add a second airport and more time, even when the fare looks lower at first, so compare the whole journey before deciding. Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost name on this route and sells the nonstop flight, while Tarom, Swiss, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa Cityline and Helvetic Airways are the full-service or network names and Harbour Air Seaplanes also appears in the list.
Arriving — Madrid
From Barajas, metro, train, bus and taxi services all reach central Madrid, but terminal distance and traffic can make the transfer feel longer than the flight, so allow extra time for baggage reclaim and connections and check which terminal your flight uses before you land.
