The journey from Barcelona to Madrid was excellent. The price was reasonable and worthwhile. Good attention was paid to hygiene, as the WCS and seats were neat and clean. I also landed on time in Madrid. The reservation options were simple and transparent. The booking was straightforward and I was even able to book my seat in advance. However, the staff were quite unfriendly and not professional. They constantly ignored the problems of your passengers. Unfortunately, the seats were not comfortable and cosy and I could not relax. The volume was not optimised as the passengers were very loud. But overall the journey was great!

My return flight from Barcelona was everything you could wish for. Departure was on time at 08:00 and I was at the airport at around 07:20. The security check went very quickly and I was still able to catch my flight. The aircraft took off five minutes late, but was able to reach Madrid safely after about 1 1/2 hours. The staff on the aircraft were very friendly and even spoke a little German. Everything inside the aircraft was very clean and well maintained. However, the flight was a little more expensive in terms of price, which is why I give it four out of five stars.

My return flight this year from Barcelona to Madrid went smoothly and without any problems. I had already reserved a seat the day before so that I wouldn't have any problems later. The flight took off on time and after about an hour and a half we arrived back in Madrid. The staff on the aircraft were always friendly and helpful. The seats were very comfortable. The aircraft was hygienic and clean. The price of the flight was a little more expensive, but still within an acceptable range.

My flight from Barcelona to Madrid (KL1507) was a pleasant journey. The timetable was clear and the online booking was easy. The seat reservation went smoothly and I was able to choose a window seat. The flight took off on time at 6.20am. The seats were comfortable, there was wifi and power sockets. The cabin crew were friendly and the cleanliness was impeccable. The price-performance ratio was fair. We were particularly pleased that one passenger had a birthday and the crew organised a small celebration on board, which made the trip extra special.

My return flight from Barcelona to Madrid went without a hitch. The staff were very friendly and created a good atmosphere. The flight took off on time and we arrived back in Madrid 10 minutes early due to the good weather conditions. The aircraft was clean and had no residue from previous passengers. The price of the flight was slightly higher but still affordable. I can recommend the flight from Barcelona to Madrid to anyone.

I flew back from Barcelona to Madrid 4 days ago. The flight was short but very pleasant. I was greeted warmly at the gate and at the entrance to the aircraft. Thanks to the seat reservation, I was able to choose and reserve a seat. The aircraft was very clean and well maintained. The price of the flight was slightly more expensive, which is probably due to the fact that I booked very late. Overall, however, I can say that it was worth it.

The journey from Barcelona to Madrid was amazingly good as the price was worthwhile and cheaper compared to other transport options. In addition, the staff were very friendly, helpful and respectful of their guests. They always helped me with my concerns and problems. I therefore felt well looked after by the excellent service. The hygiene conditions were well observed, as the WCs, composition toilets and seats were well maintained, clean and hygienic. However, the seats were not particularly comfortable. This affected my journey a little. I also didn't land in Madrid on time. It turned out that the timetable was not completely adhered to. The volume was not ideal. But overall the journey was excellent because of the service and the price.
