Cheap flights from Kos to Madrid

Madrid has long, hot summer days and shorter winter daylight, so a trip in May gives comfortable sightseeing weather without the peak-season pricing seen in June and July. April, October and November sit in milder shoulder periods, while December and January bring colder days and holiday travel.

Weekday flights are often easier to price than weekend ones, and booking several weeks ahead usually helps on a route with no direct service. If your dates fall in school holidays, compare a range of nearby dates because connection prices can move quickly.

Tickets on this route can be very different in what they include: some fares are built around a low base price with bags, seats and priority boarding charged separately, while others fold more into the ticket. Olympic Air, Sky Express, Jet2, Easyjet, Eurowings Discover, Austrian, Transavia France, Smart Wings, BA EuroFlyer and Edelweiss Air all appear on this route, and none of them flies it nonstop. Because every journey connects, compare the total price after adding the extras you need and check whether the connection is protected on one booking.

Barajas is a large airport with several terminals, so allow time for transfers and check which terminal your connection and arrival use. Metro, commuter rail, airport buses and taxis link it with central Madrid, and the sheer size of the building means walking distances can be long. Check the terminal on your ticket before you land, especially if you are connecting onward.
