How to get the best deal on a Madrid — London ticket

Book your tickets at least 3–5 weeks before your planned departure, as fares on the Madrid – London route increase significantly in the final days before the flight.
Compare offers from low-cost carriers like Vueling and Wizz Air with Iberia's fares, making sure to account for hand luggage and baggage allowances, which can substantially affect the total price.
Use the low-price calendar on this page to check nearby dates: mid-week departures (Tuesday or Wednesday) are often cheaper than weekend flights.
If you find tickets priced AED 105, we suggest not delaying your purchase, as the most affordable fares on this popular route are the first to sell out.
