How much is a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Madrid?

The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.
Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Arrival: Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD) and getting into Madrid
You arrive at Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD). Metro Line 8 and the Cercanías C-1 train link Barajas with the city in 30-40 minutes and suit one traveller; with luggage the metro's changes and stairs are tiresome, and a hotel in Salamanca or a day-one trip to Toledo is simpler by car from the terminal door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Madrid, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.
