Wizz Air Larnaca-Madrid flights: schedule, bags and terminals

Wizz Air's nonstop Larnaca-Madrid route is now operating three times a week. The first W64663 flight left Larnaca on September 24, 2026, opening a direct link between Cyprus and the Spanish capital.

The current timetable is straightforward, but two details deserve attention before booking. The return reaches Larnaca after midnight, and public sources do not agree on which Madrid terminal passengers should use. Check the live flight record rather than planning around an old terminal listing.

The current Larnaca-Madrid schedule

The launch announcement says the route operates three times per week. Current schedule data shows Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday service in both directions, using local times:

W64663 is scheduled for about five hours. W64664 is scheduled for about four hours and 45 minutes because the local time difference works in the opposite direction. The outbound schedule and return schedule can change by season, so confirm the date and local time on Wizz Air's booking screen before paying.

This is an operating route, not only an announcement. The launch report records the inaugural flight, while W64663 flight history shows the September 24 service landed in Madrid.

Madrid terminal information needs a live check

Aena's current Madrid airline directory lists Wizz Air Hungary at Terminal 2 and includes Larnaca among its destinations. Flight trackers for the inaugural service, however, recorded Terminal 1, and some upcoming records show Terminal 2.

Treat the terminal as unresolved until the flight appears on the airport board or booking record. Madrid's T1 and T2 are nearby, but arriving at the wrong check-in area still costs time. Use the flight number, W64663 or W64664, when checking the airport display.

Passport control still applies on this EU route

Cyprus and Spain are both in the European Union, but Cyprus has not yet abolished internal border controls with the Schengen area. The EU's travel-document guidance says travelers must show a valid passport or national identity card when traveling between a Schengen country and Cyprus.

Aena says passengers arriving in Madrid from outside the Schengen area go through passport control. Its Madrid arrivals guide also tells passengers to follow the assigned baggage-reclaim hall after the border check.

Travelers who are not EU, EEA or Swiss citizens should check the rules for entering Spain with their own passport, visa or residence status. A Cyprus visa or residence document does not automatically settle the conditions for entering the Schengen area.

Wizz Air's free bag is the under-seat item

Every passenger can bring one free cabin bag. Wizz Air's current cabin-baggage rules set a maximum size of 40 x 30 x 20 cm and a maximum weight of 10 kg. It must fit under the seat in front.

A larger trolley bag is not part of the basic free allowance. Wizz Air says a trolley bag up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 10 kg is available with WIZZ Priority. Checked baggage also depends on what was purchased. Read the allowance shown in the booking instead of assuming a suitcase is included.

Online check-in matters even with a checked bag

Wizz Air's check-in process says online check-in is free. It currently opens 30 days before departure for passengers who purchased a seat, or 24 hours before departure when no seat was purchased. In both cases it closes three hours before the scheduled departure.

A checked bag does not replace online check-in. Complete check-in first, then take the bag to the airport desk within the deadline shown for the flight. Wizz Air says airport check-in is normally paid unless the departure airport is one of its stated exceptions. Neither Larnaca nor Madrid appears in the current exception list.

Separate tickets need a generous Madrid buffer

Do not treat an independently booked onward flight as a protected connection. If the first flight is late, the next airline may not rebook a separate ticket. A checked bag may also need to be collected and checked in again.

Aena's Madrid connection guide shows that the route through the airport depends on the arrival and departure terminals, Schengen status and whether baggage must be collected. Build the plan around passport control, baggage reclaim, any terminal move, security and the next airline's check-in cutoff. An overnight stay can be more sensible than a tight self-transfer.

Mobile data for Cyprus, Spain or both

For a stay on one side of the route, compare the Cyprus OpenSim eSIM or Spain OpenSim eSIM. A traveler spending time in both countries can also check the Europe OpenSim eSIM, whose current destination list includes Cyprus and Spain. That can avoid changing data profiles between Larnaca and Madrid.

Allowance, speed, hotspot support and top-up eligibility vary by package. Not every plan can be topped up, so read the selected package terms before paying. Install on reliable Wi-Fi before departure and follow the package's activation instructions. An OpenSim plan supplies ground mobile data. It does not provide inflight Wi-Fi or protect a separate flight connection.

Ten questions about Wizz Air Larnaca-Madrid flights

Has the Larnaca-Madrid route started?

Yes. Wizz Air operated the inaugural Larnaca to Madrid flight on September 24, 2026. The route is now scheduled three times a week.

Which days does Wizz Air fly from Larnaca to Madrid?

The current schedule shows W64663 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Seasonal schedules can change, so check the exact date in Wizz Air's booking system.

What time is W64663?

The current timetable shows a 13:35 departure from Larnaca and a 17:35 arrival in Madrid, both local times. The scheduled flight time is about five hours.

What time is W64664 from Madrid?

The current timetable shows an 18:20 departure and a 00:05 arrival in Larnaca the next day. Plan the trip home from Larnaca Airport before boarding rather than waiting until the after-midnight arrival.

Which Madrid terminal does Wizz Air use for Larnaca flights?

Check the live flight display. Aena's airline directory lists Wizz Air Hungary at T2, while records for the inaugural Larnaca flight showed T1. The booking record and airport board for the actual date should control the plan.

Is a cabin bag included in the basic fare?

One under-seat bag up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm and 10 kg is included. A larger trolley bag requires WIZZ Priority under the current rules. Checked baggage depends on the purchased fare and extras.

Do I need online check-in if I have a checked bag?

Yes. Check in online, save the boarding card, then use the airport bag-drop desk. Wizz Air normally charges for airport check-in when online check-in is available.

Will I pass passport control between Cyprus and Spain?

Yes. Cyprus has not yet abolished internal border controls with the Schengen area, so travelers should carry the valid passport or national identity document required for their status and allow time for the Madrid check.

Is a separate onward ticket protected if W64663 is late?

Do not assume it is. Protection normally applies to flights sold as one reservation, not unrelated tickets. Leave time for the border, baggage, terminal movement and a new check-in, or book an overnight buffer.

What are my rights if Wizz Air cancels the flight?

EU passenger-rights rules apply to this intra-EU flight. The official EU guidance says a canceled flight brings a choice between reimbursement, rerouting or return, plus assistance where applicable. Compensation depends on notice, cause and circumstances, so keep the booking, messages and receipts and assess the actual case.

A final check for this Larnaca-Madrid booking

Confirm the live operating date, both local times, Madrid terminal, fare-specific baggage and online check-in window. For the return, plan around the after-midnight Larnaca arrival. For a separate Madrid connection, price the time and risk of passport control, baggage reclaim and terminal movement rather than relying only on the scheduled arrival.
