EUR 1.50 Zona A single plus the EUR 3.00 airport supplement, taken when you exit at either airport station: EUR 4.50 from T1-T2-T3. From T4, two stations further, the single rises a band to EUR 1.70, so EUR 4.70. A first ride also needs the EUR 2.50 Tarjeta Multi card, since Madrid Metro sells no paper single.

Worth knowing
Daily, including public holidays. Last departure 01:33 from each terminus.
From Terminal 4 the single ticket costs EUR 1.70 rather than EUR 1.50, one station-band up: EUR 4.70 with the supplement, not EUR 4.50.
The two airport stations are not next to each other — Aeropuerto T1-T2-T3 and Aeropuerto T4 sit either side of Barajas village, six minutes apart by train.
Bus 200 leaves the same terminals for EUR 1.50 with no supplement at all, but no journey time is published for it, so it is not ranked here.
For Puerta del Sol itself, ride lines 10 and 1 onward from here on the same ticket, or take the direct chain option instead.
