  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Paris to Madrid trip for January. Fares historically average $129 round-trip in that month - typically $92 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).
  • If arriving on time is high on your priority list, Vueling is the strongest pick on this route. 100% of Vueling flights from Paris to Madrid arrived on time in the past 3 months, slightly above the route's average on-time arrival rate of 89%. When flights on this route do arrive late, the average delay is 1 hour 30 minutes, so choosing a carrier with strong on-time performance can make a difference on tight schedules.

  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Madrid Barajas Airport.
    - Senator Barajas Hotel
    - Clement Barajas
    - ibis Madrid Aeropuerto Barajas
  • If you plan to sleep in the seats or on the airport floors at Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), make sure you have your ticket with you because the security staff will check to see if you have the correct identity and will not allow you to sleep in the airport if you don't.

  • Consider flying via Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) rather than Paris Orly Airport (ORY) if you want to go from Paris city center. The transport network is better than CDG and thus more convenient if you prioritize comfort and efficiency.
  • You need to have an airport transit visa if you come from a non-Schengen country for you to be allowed out of CDG during a layover.
  • If you are traveling to Beauvais city, it more convenient if you use the Beauvais Airport (BVA) since it is closer to the city compared to other airports. The airport is roughly 52.2 miles from Paris.
