Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Jan is the cheapest for MAD → DEL. Best time to be there: Oct–Mar.
Fares bottom out in January around $579 and peak in October near $685 — a $106 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 3 stops and takes about 12.5 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under Pegasus, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $579 for 7,273 km each way, that works out to about $40 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 19 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Delhi, this fare ranks 17th — 43% above the $406 from Tokyo. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 27 routes of similar length we watch out of Madrid, where the middle fare is $695.

MAD → DEL, answered.
Is $579 a good price for Madrid to Delhi?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $665 round-trip and this fare is 13% under it, about $86. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Madrid to Delhi?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Delhi are Oct–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MAD → Delhi?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Madrid to Delhi?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Pegasus. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
