Cheap flights from Santa Cruz de la Palma to Madrid

Madrid's winters are short and sharp, with early darkness and cold days that push fares down, while spring and autumn bring mild weather and stronger demand. November tends to come out cheapest, and dated fares are listed for every month of the year, so you can compare prices whenever you plan. Midweek departures tend to be cheaper than weekend ones, and booking a few weeks ahead usually beats last-minute searches on a route with mixed direct and connecting services. School holidays and the Christmas period push prices up, so shift your dates if you can.

The carriers with the strongest presence on this island-to-mainland route are Binter Canarias and Canaryfly, alongside Iberia, Iberia Express, Air Europa and Vueling Airlines. APG Airlines, Edelweiss Air, Luxair and Swiss also appear, usually feeding the route through their own networks. Direct flights exist, but not every ticket is nonstop, so check the itinerary before you pay. Fares differ in what they include, from checked bags to seat selection, and low-cost tickets in particular may charge extra for both. Compare the total cost, not just the headline fare.

You land at Madrid-Barajas, which sits northeast of the city centre and is connected by metro, train and airport buses. The airport is large and spread across several terminals, so allow time if you need to change terminals or collect bags. For the centre, the metro and the airport express bus are the usual routes, with trains serving some terminals. If you arrive late at night, check which transport still runs before you book, since not every line operates around the clock.
