When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $49 and peak in June near $223, 355% dearer, across the 9 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Ryanair nonstop and takes about 2.5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip. At $49 for 1,263 km each way, that works out to about $19 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $41 per 1,000 km that short-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 10 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Madrid, this fare ranks 2nd — 40% above the $35 from Milan. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 13 routes of similar length we watch out of London, where the middle fare is $55. The best time to be in Madrid: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
LON → MAD, answered.
Is $49 a good price for London to Madrid?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $65 round-trip. At $49 you're 25% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Madrid?
Across 9 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Madrid are Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Madrid?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 9 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Madrid?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Ryanair). The outbound leg runs around 2.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
