Cheap flights from Sanya to Madrid

Start with the shoulder weeks around March, then March itself, when the listed fares are lowest; midweek departures often cost less than weekend ones.

The price calendar runs from October to July, so compare dates across those months, and expect pressure around school holidays, Christmas and Madrid's summer; book earlier for those periods, because the lowest fares go first.

Fare inclusions vary sharply on this route: Hong Kong Express Airways prices the seat first and charges for bags, meals and seat selection, while the other named carriers are full-service or hybrid but can still sell restrictive fares that exclude checked baggage. The list runs from Sichuan Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airways, Beijing Capital Airlines, Hong Kong Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines. None flies nonstop, so compare connection length and whether the whole journey is on one ticket.

If you land at Barajas late in the day, your first decision is whether Madrid's public transport is still running or whether you need a taxi, bus or hotel transfer; check that before you leave the terminal. Barajas is Madrid's main airport and sits east of the city centre, with metro, commuter rail, bus and taxi links; the airport is large, so note your terminal and allow time for transfers between terminals.
