When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Air Europa nonstop and takes about 10 hours outbound, on a 13-night trip. At $526 for 8,102 km each way, that works out to about $32 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 26 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Johannesburg, this fare ranks 2nd — 16% above the $455 from Dubai. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 30 routes of similar length we watch out of Madrid. We have 2 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Johannesburg: Mar–May · Sep–Nov.

Good to know
MAD → JNB, answered.
How far in advance should I book MAD → Johannesburg?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Madrid to Johannesburg?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Air Europa). The outbound leg runs around 10 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.
