Air Europa has launched its annual ‘Time To Fly’ promotion, slashing fares across its network in a bid to stimulate post-holiday demand. From 2 to 18 January travellers can book one-way domestic tickets for as little as €25, European routes from €29 and long-haul sectors—Madrid to Miami, for example—from €189.
The campaign comes as parent company Globalia prepares for the final stage of IAG’s proposed minority investment, a deal that would deepen cooperation with Iberia at Madrid-Barajas. By pumping early-year volumes into its inventory, Air Europa shores up cash flow and enhances its value ahead of regulatory scrutiny in Brussels.
Before locking in these discounted fares, travellers—especially those heading beyond Spain or inviting overseas colleagues to Madrid for meetings—should confirm visa and entry requirements. VisaHQ’s online platform simplifies Spain-related visa applications, passport renewals, and transit documentation, providing step-by-step guidance and real-time status updates: https://www.visahq.com/spain/.

Corporate travel managers should check negotiated fare-baskets: many SME-level discounts are suspended during public sales, meaning ad-hoc tickets may undercut contracted rates. The booking window also coincides with annual kick-off meetings for Spanish firms, offering savings on short-notice domestic hops to Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia.
Seat availability is good on most routes, but peak-hour flights between Madrid and Palma de Mallorca are already 70 % sold, according to GDS data. Refundable upgrades remain at standard pricing, so travellers who need flexibility should compare total cost before purchase.
From a mobility-policy perspective, companies can leverage the sale to reduce relocation budgets or to pre-purchase travel for assignees returning home mid-year. Finance teams should, however, track ancillary fees—bags, seat selection, and onboard Wi-Fi can quickly erode advertised savings.
