Cheap flights from Madrid to Poznan

February is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar carries fares for every month from September through August, so you can weigh a winter trip against a summer one before you commit. Winter departures from Barajas are quieter outside the Christmas and New Year rush, while spring and autumn sit somewhere in the middle. Midweek flights usually cost less than weekend ones. School holidays in Spain and Poland push fares up around Easter and at the end of the year, so if your dates are fixed, book those weeks early.

With no direct service, you will change planes somewhere in Europe, and the airline you choose decides how that change feels. Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK and Easyjet are the low-cost options, where the fare covers a seat and little else, so check what baggage is included before you pay. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Swiss, Edelweiss Air and HOP! are the full-service carriers, and a single ticket with one of them usually means a protected connection if a leg runs late. Mixing carriers on separate tickets is cheaper on paper but leaves the risk with you.

You land at Poznan Lawica, the only airport serving the city, and it sits close to the centre rather than far out in open country. Buses and taxis both run into town, and the terminal is small enough that you clear arrivals and get moving quickly. Late evening landings are the ones worth planning, when buses thin out and a taxi becomes the easier choice. Check the arrival airport on your ticket as well, because Warsaw and Krakow are separate Polish destinations with their own airports, and a connection can land you somewhere other than Poznan.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your connection leaves enough time, since nothing flies this route non-stop.
• On Wizz Air and Easyjet fares, confirm what baggage is included before you pay.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Carry a passport or national identity card that is valid for travel to Poland.
• Compare February fares with your own dates, because that is the cheapest month on the calendar.
• Make sure the ticket shows Poznan Lawica as the arrival airport and not another Polish city.
