Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Oct is the cheapest for STO → MAD. Best time to be there: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.
Fares bottom out in October around $121 and peak in March near $209 — a $88 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under AL, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $121 for 2,593 km each way, that works out to about $23 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Madrid, this fare ranks 2nd — 6% above the $114 from Copenhagen. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 15 routes of similar length we watch out of Stockholm, where the middle fare is $124.

How far in advance should I book STO → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 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 Stockholm to Madrid?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under AL. 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.
