What MAD to BKK looks like
The MAD to BKK sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Madrid MAD to Bangkok BKK is an ultra long sector of 10,193 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 10,193 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 12h 47m.
Madrid MAD is a major hub in the network held here, 252 scheduled destinations and 720.9 departures a day. Bangkok BKK has 138 destinations and 531.9 departures a day.
Bangkok runs 6 hours ahead of Madrid in January and 5 hours ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits between Asia Pacific and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 46 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on MAD to BKK from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAD to BKK | 0.43 | 3 | Evelop Airlines |
| BKK to MAD | 0 | 0 | none held |
One carrier holds the sector, Evelop Airlines, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The return leg BKK to MAD carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
Between them the two directions put about 3 departures a week on MAD to BKK, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 12h 47m block time on MAD to BKK. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to MAD | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At MAD before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| MAD to BKK in the air, estimated | 767 min | 17h 17m |
| Formalities at BKK | 90 min | 18h 47m |
| Delivery run in Bangkok | 45 min | 19h 32m |
| Door to door | 1,172 min | 19h 32m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for MAD to BKK is 19h 32m.
A courier who leaves Madrid at 09:00 local is on the ground in Bangkok at about 03:47 local and at the door by 06:02 the following day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Bangkok, nothing leaving Madrid inside a normal working day arrives in time, so this pair is an overnight and a next morning delivery rather than a same day one.
At 19h 32m the mission is past the sixteen hour duty day a single courier is planned against, so it is quoted with a rest at the far end or with a second courier, and never as a turnaround.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 35 of them join MAD to BKK.
| Connecting at | MAD to hub, flights a day | Hub to BKK, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kuwait City KWI | 0.71 | 1 | 10,473 | 14h 37m |
| Vienna VIE | 5 | 1.71 | 10,256 | 14h 44m |
| Tel Aviv TLV | 3.14 | 2.43 | 10,490 | 14h 53m |
| Rome FCO | 19.71 | 0.57 | 10,207 | 14h 53m |
| Milan MXP | 11.43 | 1.14 | 10,229 | 14h 54m |
| Riyadh RUH | 0.71 | 1 | 10,706 | 14h 54m |
35 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Kuwait City KWI, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through KWI the routing covers 10,473 km against the 10,193 km nonstop track and takes about 14h 37m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 50m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Vienna VIE at 14h 44m and Tel Aviv TLV at 14h 53m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bangkok, Bangkok DMK is 30 km away by great circle and carries 61 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for MAD to BKK in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
