Puente Aereo - Barcelona to Madrid
I haven't had much luck getting information about flying between Barcelona and Madrid on using Puente Aereo flights. Hopefully, someone can supply a website or some detailed information. Thanks.

Hi sfanna,
"puente aereo" is what Iberia calls their very frequent connection between Madrid and Barcelona. Depending on the time of the day, you might have flights every half an hour.
Contrary to what Robert says, I have just done a random search for September, and I have found flights from 41 Euros plus taxes with Iberia.
Spanair has some flights for 29 Euros plus taxes, and another interesting option is vueling.com (they only have one flight a day, but well worth checking if they have some offer going on)

Sorry, you probably won't find flights flying the Barcelona-Madrid corridor listed under Puente Aereo.
Puente Aereo (Air Bridge) is a generic term Iberia Airlines of Spain came up with years ago that refers to Iberia's hourly flights between the two cities. Spanair, Air Europa and Vueling have piggy-backed on that name. At least 4-air carriers fly that route, but they don't all call their service 'Puente Aereo.' Spanish people refer to it as Puente Aereo like we use 'Northeast Corrider.'
You may have to look at each airlines flight schedule (on its website).

As cova says, there are some cheaper flights on Iberia, but you may have to be an "Iberia Plus" member to get the cheaper rate. Anyone can join Iberia Plus by signing up on their web site.

A few years ago we were booked in an Iberia flight Barcelona to Madrid. The taxi left us in the Iberia regular terminal. After a long line the person at the check in told us we were in a "Puente aereo " flight and that we had to go to another terminal ! There was nothing in the ticket that identified the flight as "puente aereo".
So My advice is that if you buy an Iberia BCN-MAD ticket find out ahead of time if it's puente aereo and what terminal you're supposed to go to.
