Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Oct is the cheapest for MAD → HKT. Best time to be there: Nov–Mar.
Fares bottom out in October around $587 and peak in January near $821 — a $234 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 15.5 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under Saudia, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $587 for 10,438 km each way, that works out to about $28 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $44 that long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 19 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Phuket, this fare ranks 11th — 23% above the $479 from Stockholm. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 34 routes of similar length we watch out of Madrid, where the middle fare is $734.

How far in advance should I book MAD → Phuket?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 6 months of cached fares, Oct 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 Phuket?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Saudia. 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.
