Cheap flights from Prague to Madrid

School holidays and Christmas change prices on this route, as does Madrid's summer season. January is the cheapest month in the data, so flexible travellers should look there first. Midweek and weekend departures can price differently, and a return date just after a holiday can cost more than one a few days later. Book early for peak periods, and compare the full month rather than one date.

The route is served by Easyjet, Ryanair, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK, Vueling Airlines, Air Serbia, Smart Wings, Wizz Air, Transavia France and Iberia. Some sell basic fares with a small cabin bag and charge for extras; others include more in the ticket. Direct flights exist, but a connection can still be cheaper on some dates. Check baggage, seat choice, changes and airport transfers before you book, because the fare name alone does not tell you what is included.

Arriving late can change the whole plan, because public transport may be less frequent after dark and a late arrival may mean a taxi or a hotel near Barajas. Barajas is the city's main airport and lies outside the centre, so allow time for the metro, train or bus into town. Watch the terminal your flight uses, since transfers between terminals can take longer than expected, and check whether your accommodation has a late check-in. If you land after public transport thins out, decide your onward route before you leave the aircraft.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket names Ruzyne, Prague's airport for this route, and not another city's airport.
• Check baggage rules for your exact fare, especially where cabin size and priority boarding can differ.
• Check whether your itinerary is direct or a connection on separate tickets, because a missed second flight is your risk.
• Check passport and entry rules for Spain before you travel.
• Check Madrid's terminal and late-night transport if you arrive after dark.
• Check the whole month in the price calendar, not just your first date.
