When to book flights to Madrid

Summers in Madrid are hot, humid and busy. Museums, galleries, restaurants and bars in the city are full of locals and tourists and it can be sweaty work navigating your way around in the burning Spanish sun. As this is peak tourist season, flights to Madrid will be a little more expensive – so you’ll need to look hard if you want to bag a great deal.

The winter in Madrid is surprisingly cold and the city is generally a lot quieter and greyer between November and March. Hotels and flights are more affordable at this time of year. If you’re on a budget, this could be a good time to travel.

If you want cheap flights to Madrid but still want to enjoy warm weather and a lively city centre, book your trip in the spring or autumn months.

    How to survive the flight to Madrid?
    We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Madrid in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

    • First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

    Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

    • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

    What to wear on a flight:

    • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
    • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

    How to get through airport security fast when flying to Madrid?
    Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Madrid a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

    • Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
    • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
    • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
    • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
    • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
    • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
