  • Some of the most affordable airline tickets for Nice to Madrid involve a self-transfer, in cities such as Barcelona or Porto. These flights tend to have long connection times, which makes deplaning, going through arrivals, and checking in again feasible.
  • Flights between Nice and Madrid aboard Vueling or aboard a flight combining Vueling and Iberia tend to emit about 60% less CO2 than the average for flights on this route.

Upon entering Spain, you will need to show evidence of onward travel and sufficient funds to support yourself while you are in the country.
  • If you've always wanted to fly business class but couldn't afford it, consider splurging for a Business Comfort seat aboard Iberia from Nice to Madrid. Though the ticket is approximately triple the price of any economy ticket, the low cost of this short flight may provide just the opportunity you need to experience an exclusive check-in counter, fast boarding, more room in front of you and to the side, and greater baggage allowances.
