The original poster was interested in Madrid-London. Apart from Ryanair and easyJet that leaves BA (to LHR, LCY and LGW), Iberia (to LHR) and Air Comet (LGW). None of these has fares which, generally speaking, will match Ryanair. As far as the
total cost is concerned, much will depend on where your final destination is. For many Heathrow would be a
more expensive choice, especially considering that many of the highest fares to Madrid are from LHR.
