Planes to Thrones: Surrounded by Luxury with First Class Flights and Royal Palace Tours

Travel Like Royalty on Business Class Flights to Enjoy the Royal Palace of Madrid - IFlyFirstClass

If you’ve flown first class to Madrid, continue to indulge your senses by visiting the stunning Royal Palace of Madrid. Now used only for state functions, the palace sits on the land once occupied by the Alcázar, built in the 9th century. The palace as you see it today was built in the early 18th century and contains more than 3,400 rooms in 1.4 million square feet of space. Since Spanish monarchs supplied many of the art collections on display at the Prado Museum, it’s not surprising that the palace is filled with works of the masters. The royal art collections includes more than 3,500 paintings, 276 wall paintings, 6,000-plus sculptures and 3,000 tapestries and textiles. Several notable gardens surround the palace, including the Sabatini Gardens and the Campo del Moro Gardens. 


Tranquility Found with San Francisco El Grande Basilica and Business Class Flights

Grande Savings on Business Class to see Basilica de San Francisco El Grande - IFlyFirstClass

Magnificently located in Madrid’s La Latina neighborhood, the royal church is an awe-inspiring sight. Built in 1760, this grand basilica rests on revered land where St. Francis of Assisi built a monastery in 1217. Its 108-foot-diameter dome is the largest in Spain, surpassed in size only by three other domes in the world. In addition to its marvelous dome, the church brims with exhilarating features, from Goya’s painting of St. Francis to Casa Juan Guas’ exquisitely carved doors. If you booked one of our last minute deals on a business class flight to Madrid, you’ll appreciate that you can visit the basilica for free during morning mass. During these free times, however, the church museum is not open and Goya’s painting is unlit.
