Airlines flying Palma to Madrid

Flight time is about 1h35m across roughly 550 km — short enough that connecting never makes sense on this route. With four carriers competing, empty-cheap seats appear regularly outside high summer.

Full-service fares bundle a checked bag, seat selection and lounge-eligible miles; low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. On a flight this brief, the low-cost option is comfortable enough that most travellers pocket the difference.

Palma Airport (PMI) in brief

Palma de Mallorca Airport is one of Europe’s busiest in summer, just 8 km east of the city. The EMT bus A2 (line 2) reaches central Palma in 15–20 minutes; a taxi takes about 15. In July and August allow extra time — security lines swell with holiday traffic, so arrive two hours before departure in peak season, 90 minutes otherwise. The terminal sprawls, so check your gate as soon as you’re through security.

Madrid arrivals: Iberia and Air Europa use T4, Ryanair and Vueling usually T1. The Cercanías train from both connects to Atocha in about half an hour, and metro line 8 serves the airport directly.

Money-saving tips

1. Book 2–4 weeks ahead. With so many daily flights, fares stay flat for weeks, then jump in the last 10 days.

2. Fly off-peak days. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings are the cheapest combinations.

3. Watch out for summer. If you travel in July or August, book as early as possible — this route’s holiday demand is relentless.

4. Travel light. With fares this low, a paid checked bag can cost more than the flight itself.

5. Mix airlines. Two one-ways on different carriers frequently undercut a return ticket.

6. Mind the Majorca event calendar. Regatta weeks, triathlons and spring fairs nudge fares up quietly — check Palma’s calendar before locking dates.

Palma and Madrid: an easy double header

Many travellers pair a few days in Palma’s old town — the cathedral, Bellver Castle, the Passeig del Born — with Madrid’s museums and nightlife on one ticket. Because both cities are domestic, there’s no passport control, no currency exchange and no arrival friction: you land, walk out, and you’re on the metro within twenty minutes. That makes a Palma–Madrid–Palma itinerary one of the simplest two-city breaks in Europe.
