Cheap flights from Madeira to Madrid

The expensive stretch is the summer school-holiday period and the Christmas break, when Madrid is busy with visitors and Madeira stays popular. Step back from there through the shoulder months, and November is the cheapest month shown for this route. If your dates can move, compare a few days around your preferred week and watch the price calendar. Madrid is hotter in summer, so spring and autumn can suit a city break better.

What your fare includes is the first thing to compare on this route, because the extras appear in different places. Low-cost tickets may charge separately for bags, seats and airport check-in, while full-service tickets usually fold more into the base fare. The listed carriers are Easyjet, TAP Portugal, Portug, Iberia, Transavia France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Wizz Air, Transavia Airlines, Binter Canarias and BA EuroFlyer. Direct flights are available, but some itineraries connect, so confirm whether your flight is nonstop and what happens if a connection is missed.

You land at Madrid Barajas, the city's main airport, to the north-east of central Madrid. It sits a fair distance from the centre, so allow time for the transfer in your first hour. The usual ways into town are metro, suburban rail, airport bus or taxi; choose by terminal, luggage and time of day. Watch for terminal changes, queues at passport control, and reduced late-night services if you arrive after dark.
