Hainan Airlines to Madrid: Melbourne from $3974, Sydney from $6438 Return in Business Class - Oct 2026 to Mar 2027

About the Airline

These fares are with Hainan Airlines in Business Class, departing from Melbourne and Sydney. Hainan is one of the few carriers to hold a Skytrax 5-Star Airline rating, and it was ranked 10th in the world in the 2025 Skytrax World’s Top 10 Airlines. Full details of the airline and its network are in our Hainan Airlines airline guide.

Hainan is not part of a global airline alliance, instead operating its own network with selected codeshares across the broader HNA Group. As a full-service carrier, the Business Class fare includes checked baggage, meals and inflight entertainment.

These flights transit in Haikou, China (HAK) rather than routing through the Middle East. For an overview of the airport and its connection times, see Haikou Meilan International Airport on MinimumConnectionTime.com. Connection requirements vary by itinerary, so check the minimum connection time against your booking before you travel.

About the Destination

Madrid is Spain’s capital and its cultural heavyweight, with the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums lined up along the Paseo del Arte and the Royal Palace a short walk from the centre. Retiro Park and the Paseo del Prado are jointly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the tapas bars of La Latina and the late-night energy around Plaza Mayor and Gran Vía run well past midnight. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable times to visit, as Madrid summers are genuinely hot, and Toledo and Segovia are both easy half-day trips by high-speed rail. See the official Madrid tourism site for attractions and planning tips.
