Flights to Madrid
MAD · Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport
Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas sits 12km northeast of central Madrid and is Iberia's main hub. Air Europa runs the only direct flight from Johannesburg, giving South Africans a Schengen-Spain entry point with onward access to the rest of Iberia, Latin America (via Iberia's Latin American network) and Morocco. It is a popular leisure route in its own right — Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Granada draw steady South African visitor numbers, with the Schengen visa being the main planning requirement.
