When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in December around $888 and peak in February near $1,305, 47% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 22.5 hours outbound, on a 46-night trip — ticketed under Sichuan Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $888 for 17,684 km each way, that works out to about $25 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 29 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Sydney, this fare ranks 4th — 21% above the $731 from London. The best time to be in Sydney: Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr.

Good to know
MAD → SYD, answered.
Is $888 a good price for Madrid to Sydney?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $1,280 round-trip. At $888 you're 31% below that, which we rate great for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Madrid to Sydney?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Dec comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Sydney are Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MAD → Sydney?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 5 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Madrid to Sydney?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Sichuan Airlines. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
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.
