For short-haul routes like London → Madrid, the shoulder-season months (typically April–May and September–October) are cheaper than peak summer or Christmas. Midweek flights — especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays — also tend to be cheaper than weekend flights, since business-traveller demand drops on weekends. Both nonstop and connecting flights are available on this route — nonstop options are usually worth the price difference for shorter trips. These are general booking patterns, not a guarantee — the best way to know for sure is to compare live prices for your exact dates.
