Tickets / About Air Europa

Air Europa is a full-service Spanish airline based in Madrid, founded in 1978. The airline operates a diverse fleet of Boeing aircraft and serves as a key European carrier with extensive route networks across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Air Europa is part of the Globalia travel and tourism group, which gives it strong connections in the holiday travel and charter markets. The airline is known for reliable service on both short-haul European flights and medium-haul leisure routes, with particular strength on routes connecting Spain to major European cities and Mediterranean destinations.

The airline offers multiple fare types, from basic economy options to premium cabins, catering to both business and leisure travelers. Air Europa maintains a strong presence at Madrid-Barajas Airport, its primary hub, and operates significant routes from other Spanish cities including Málaga and Barcelona. The carrier is particularly popular for flights to the Canary Islands, which represent a major part of its domestic and regional route network.

Check-in

Air Europa allows online check-in starting 24 hours before departure through its official website or mobile app. Online check-in is available until 90 minutes before domestic flights and up to 2 hours before international departures. Passengers who check in online receive their boarding pass digitally via email or through the airline's mobile app, which can be presented directly at the airport or printed for gate agents.

At the airport, check-in counters open 2-3 hours before long-haul flights and 1.5-2 hours before short-haul European flights. The airline recommends arriving at the airport according to standard international guidelines. Boarding is typically called 15-20 minutes before scheduled departure, and gates close 10 minutes before departure time. Passengers must present a valid passport and boarding pass when boarding.

Seats

Air Europa offers seat selection based on your fare type. Passengers traveling on basic economy fares may have limited seat selection options and could be assigned seats at check-in. Standard and premium economy passengers generally have access to seat selection during booking or up to 24 hours before departure, either online or via the airline's mobile app. Seat selection for preferred seating in extra-legroom rows or specific cabin areas may incur an additional fee.

Families traveling with children under 12 are often able to request adjacent seating at no charge to ensure children sit with adults. Group bookings receive dedicated support for seat coordination. The airline's seat map tool on its website allows passengers to visualize available seats, seat pitch, and amenities before selection. Extra-legroom seats and seats in premium cabins offer enhanced comfort and are available for purchase.

Fares & Baggage

Air Europa operates a tiered fare structure: Basic Economy, Standard, and Premium cabins offer increasing flexibility, amenities, and baggage allowances. Basic Economy fares are ideal for budget-conscious travelers, while Standard and Premium options provide benefits such as checked baggage, seat selection, refund flexibility, and priority boarding. Baggage policies vary by fare type: Basic Economy typically includes a carry-on bag only, while Standard and Premium fares include checked baggage allowances.

Standard and Premium passengers are generally entitled to 1-2 checked bags (up to 23 kg per bag), with additional bags available for a fee. Carry-on baggage allowance is usually one piece of luggage plus a personal item such as a laptop bag or backpack, with size restrictions around 55 x 40 x 20 cm. Excess baggage, oversize items, and sports equipment require advance purchase and payment. Children, infants, and frequent flyer members may have different baggage allowances.
