Do I need a visa for Spain?
This destination is in the Schengen area. US, UK, EU, Canadian and Australian passport holders enter visa-free for short stays; many other nationalities need a Schengen visa — allow 4–6 weeks.
How long is the flight from London?
Nonstop or with a short connection, plan on about 2h 16m from London to MAD. Add roughly an hour for the transfer to the venue.
When should I book?
Fares for event weeks are usually lowest 10–12 weeks out and rise sharply after the full lineup or schedule is announced. Set a price alert early.
