Your guide to booking Madrid to Alicante flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly, and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Thursday departure and avoid flying on Friday. On this route, Thursday flights average C$ 114, about C$ 20 less than Friday fares (15% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 20 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 40% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Madrid to Alicante trip for September. Fares historically average C$ 94 round-trip in that month – typically C$ 58 less than the most expensive month, which is March (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Iberia. Over the past three months, 89% of Iberia flights from Madrid to Alicante arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 87%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 1h 35m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • Enjoy privacy in business class with Air Europa, which offers room between seats and ample cabin height. You'll have an unforgettable experience on Dreamliner 787-9 with large windows and lie-flat seats featuring adjustable headrests. You'll have a pull-out table, a private console, and everything you need to work comfortably with your laptop.
  • Iberia Airlines allows you to choose seats in advance when traveling as a family or a group. When possible, passengers in the same booking are assigned seats next to one another. With an Economy class ticket, paying for a seat online in advance is cheaper than at the airport. Customers with Business Flex or Business Plus status select seats without additional cost on Iberia Express.
  • The greenest airline in Europe is Ryanair, so traveling with them assures you that you are conscious about environmental impact. You can use their customer carbon offsetting program to contribute to environmental conservation. As part of its business model, the airline aims to achieve the highest load factor in the industry (96%).
  • Iberia offers business class passengers a VIP lounge in Terminal 4 of Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD). If your ticket qualifies, head over to Dalí Lounge immediately after the security checkpoint near the shuttle boarding gates H, J, K, and M. While waiting for your flight, take your kids to the play area, use the shower, the coffee point, or one of the two bars.
  • For the best assistive service, fly with Air Europa, which partners with mobility assistance companies. Request it 48 hours before the flight and provide all the details, whether you will fly with a special companion or need a wheelchair to climb and descend the aircraft. Also, arrive at Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) at least 2 hours earlier. Clutches, walking sticks, walkers, and wheelchairs are not charged as baggage.
