Airports: Madrid and Naples

Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD) is 12 km northeast of the city. Metro line 8 runs from Nuevos Ministerios to Terminal 4 in about 20 minutes, and the Cercanías C-1 train links T4 with Atocha and Chamartín. Iberia operates from T4; Ryanair and easyJet use Terminals 1–2. Check your terminal in advance — transfers between T4 and the rest are slow.

Naples International Airport (NAP) is remarkably central: just 6–7 km northeast of the historic centre. The Alibus shuttle reaches Piazza Garibaldi and the port in 15–20 minutes for a few euros, and a taxi has a fixed official fare to the city centre. This is one of Europe’s easiest airport arrivals — you can be eating pizza within 40 minutes of landing.

If Amalfi is the goal, Naples is your airport. Sorrento, Positano and Ravello are all reached by ferry, Circumvesuviana train or SITA bus from Naples.

Most expensive: July and August, plus Easter week, when Italian and Spanish holidays overlap.

Naples channels pizza energy year-round, but note that Ferragosto (mid-August) empties some businesses while filling the beaches — flights and hotels both spike.

Money-saving tips for Madrid–Naples flights

Mix airlines on a return. Ryanair out, ITA back can undercut either carrier’s round trip.
Pre-book bags online. Airport baggage fees on low-cost carriers dwarf the online price — decide before you fly.
Use the Alibus, not taxis. The shuttle is a few euros and nearly as fast; save the taxi money for pizza.
Time your visit around fixed-fare months. If you can travel in February, you get the route’s floor price and Naples’ best cool-season atmosphere.
Pair the flight with a ferry booking. Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast are cheapest reached by sea — plan the onward leg when you book the flight.
