Trade fairs & big events

Built for Madrid's busy calendar

IFEMA Madrid, the city's main trade fair centre, is a short drive from Barajas. It hosts big international events such as FITUR, the tourism fair, from 20 to 24 January 2027, and ARCOmadrid, the contemporary art fair, from 3 to 7 March 2027. Since 2026 the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix has also been held on the Madring circuit at IFEMA, with the next race on 10 to 12 September 2027.

On those days hotels fill up and roads around IFEMA and the airport get busy. Booking your airport transfer ahead means a fixed price and a car that is already planned for you.

Before you fly

Flying from MAD: good to know

Leave enough time

Airlines usually ask you to arrive at least 2 hours before departure, and earlier for long-haul flights. We time your pickup around your flight, with a buffer for traffic.

Flying to London?

Flights to the UK are outside the Schengen area, so you pass passport control. At T4 these flights often leave from the T4S satellite, so allow extra time.

Air Europa uses T1 and T2

Air Europa's long-haul and UK flights leave from T1, while its domestic and Schengen flights use T2. Check your booking before you travel.

Landing in Madrid?

Choose “From the airport” in the booking form and share your flight details, so your pickup is planned around your landing time.
