Baggage, seats and classes on the Santiago to Madrid flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Santiago to Madrid. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones

Flying with children, families and groups from Santiago to Madrid

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Madrid when you land

Madrid is the capital of Spain at the centre of the peninsula, with Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) about 13 km north-east of the Puerta del Sol; the Prado, the Retiro park and the Gran Vía are its core, and Toledo, Segovia and El Escorial make classic day trips by road. The reasons travellers fly from Santiago to Madrid include the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Toledo, an hour south, the Temple of Debod at sunset, the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace. For the first meal, try jamón ibérico, tortilla española and a bocadillo de calamares in Plaza Mayor.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Madrid; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Santiago to Madrid

Flights from Santiago to Madrid run all year, daily. Spring and autumn are ideal; summer is very hot with the city quiet in August, winter cold and clear, and the M-30 and A-2 from the airport are slowest at weekday rush hours. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Madrid to Santiago

We book the return leg from Madrid to Santiago just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Santiago to Madrid?

The cost of a flight from Santiago to Madrid depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Santiago to Madrid: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Santiago to Madrid is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

When you fill out the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Santiago to Madrid flight first, then the alternatives.

Airlines flying from Santiago to Madrid

Iberia and LATAM fly the Santiago to Madrid route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value.

• Iberia - Santiago to Madrid
• LATAM - Santiago to Madrid
