Cheap flights from Hannover to Madrid

Madrid has bright, hot summers and shorter, cooler winter days, so think first about the weather and daylight you want, then about the fare. January is the lowest-priced month on the calendar for this route, while December and the school-holiday periods usually cost more. Midweek departures can be cheaper than weekend ones, and late-return flights may save money if you do not mind arriving after dark. Check the price calendar for your exact dates before you commit.

Start with what the fare includes: some tickets bundle checked baggage, a seat and a meal, while lower fare types leave those as extras you add at checkout. The carriers listed on this route are Air France, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, HOP!, Scandinavian Airlines, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Air Baltic, Braathens Regional Aviation and KLM Cityhopper, and none of them flies it nonstop, so compare connection time as well as price.

On a connecting itinerary, one ticket can protect a missed connection, while separate tickets usually do not. Check the fare rules before you pay, because the cheapest option can become expensive once baggage, seats and airport transfers are added.

If you land in Madrid late in the day, the metro and train options may be thinner and you are more likely to need a taxi or a pre-booked transfer, so plan the last leg before you fly. Madrid's Barajas airport sits outside the city centre, and the usual routes in are metro, commuter rail, airport bus or taxi. Allow extra time if you change terminals, and watch for luggage collection and passport queues at busy arrivals. Keep your hotel address handy for the driver or for the last metro stop.
