Ahmedabad (AMD) has no direct Madrid flight, so you connect once. The strongest options to Adolfo Suarez Madrid–Barajas (MAD) are Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and Etihad via Abu Dhabi, plus Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich. Gulf carriers usually give the smoothest single-stop timings. If AMD schedules do not suit, IndiGo and Air India connect via Delhi or Mumbai, where more onward Spain options open up.
Doha, Dubai and Istanbul all serve Madrid well; choose on price and timing, with layovers of 2–4 hours typical.

Metro Line 8 connects the terminals to the city in roughly 15–20 minutes, the Cercanias C-1 train links to Atocha and Chamartin stations, and the Airport Express bus runs 24 hours to the centre. Taxis charge a fixed fare to central zones in about 20–30 minutes. Barajas is also Spain's main hub for onward flights across Europe and to Latin America.
Economy long-haul fares to Madrid usually include 25–30 kg checked plus 7–8 kg cabin, while business raises it to 35–40 kg. The cheapest "Light" or "Saver" brands may not include a hold bag, so verify before booking, especially if you are shopping or carrying gifts home. A 30 kg allowance is often worth a small premium.
