Editorial snapshot
Flying to Madrid rewards the traveller who books early but does not panic. Fares from London or Paris are genuinely competitive year-round, with the sweet spot sitting in March-April and October-November when the weather is good and the crowds have thinned. Summer fares spike hard, particularly in July and August. The city suits culture hunters, food obsessives, and anyone who considers a 10pm dinner reservation perfectly reasonable.
Score based on FlyFairly booking data and editorial review, 2026

Madrid-Barajas is Spain's largest airport, spread across four terminals. Terminals T1, T2, and T3 are connected and handle most European low-cost and charter carriers, while the award-winning T4 (designed by Richard Rogers and Antonio Lamela) serves Iberia, British Airways, and their oneworld partners. A free shuttle bus connects T4 to T1-T3 in around 12 minutes, so factor that in if you are connecting between terminals.
