Flüge Toronto (YYZ) – Madrid (MAD)

Toronto Pearson to Madrid Barajas is the eastbound 6,400 km transatlantic, served by Iberia (five weekly from June 2026, A321XLR) and Air Canada (daily widebody year-round). Block time runs about 7 hours 40 minutes — the prevailing jet stream pushes eastbound about 80 minutes shorter than the westbound return.

Departures cluster in the evening: 18:00–21:30 from YYZ, landing Madrid 08:00–11:00 local. The overnight schedule is ideal for sleep on board; Iberia's A321XLR Business Class lie-flat seats are wider than the older 787 product on this route, so Spanish-bound travellers actually get a better rest on the narrow-body than the wide-body would suggest. Air Canada Signature Class on the 787 is comparable.

The 6-hour eastward time gap (Toronto at UTC-5/-4, Madrid at UTC+1/+2) is moderate. Plan a leisurely arrival day in Madrid — a long lunch in La Latina, walk through Retiro Park, push through to local Spanish dinner time at 21:00–22:30. The cultural late-evening dinner alignment helps your body adapt faster than the equivalent route into UK/France.
