Not sure any of those are convenient connections, but also don't know your time frame. I assume the MAD-KRK flights (which are in an RJ under Air Nostrum, which is kosher for xONExs) would offer good connections through Barajas.

KRK-PRG could be via MAD also, but you'd quickly run out of European segments by constantly zigzagging through Madrid, Budapest or Gatwick.

Somehow I think there are trains or low cost Euro carriers in your future, however.
You'd be right. I'll blow segments if I do KRK-xxx-PRG-xxx-DUS; and I think my boss will kill me if I make him do BDA-LGW without a stop in BDA for some sun. Alas, it looks like I'm going to come in to PRG, nested ticket on Czech to KRK, and then resume my xONE3/4 from there.

Cheers,
