Your guide to booking Paris to Madrid flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Wednesday departure and avoid flying on Sunday. On this route, Wednesday flights average $185, about $30 less than Sunday fares (14% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 25 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 37% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Paris to Madrid trip for January. Fares historically average $131 round-trip in that month - typically $98 less than the most expensive month, which is October (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Vueling. Over the past three months, 100% of Vueling flights from Paris to Madrid arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 88%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 1h 30m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Palma de Mallorca Son Sant Joan Airport (PMI) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $124 round-trip on this route - about $67 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Madrid Barajas Airport.

    • Senator Barajas Hotel
    • ibis Styles Madrid Airport Valdebebas
    • Hotel Madrid Alameda Aeropuerto, Affiliated by Meliá
  • 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.
  • Feel free to continue working on that project you have or work that you had not finished at MAD. You will find an ideal working environment with working areas, a fax machine, a printer, and a business center located in Terminal 4S, 4, 2, and 1.
  • 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.
