Nice to Madrid, one way
Any discount carriers out there that I might look into? (I'm taking the train from Madrid to Nice, and don't have the time to "train" it back...)
Thanks,
Randy

One option is EasyJet up to Paris ORY and then to MAD. They have only one flight a day to MAD so you want to allow plenty of time, at least 3 hours in ORY, especially if you have checked bags.
Virgin Express offers a bad connection through BRU which takes the whole day from 9.20am arriving 7.50 pm and costs as little as 95 euros.
German Wings with flights through CGN has a pretty good connection but like most LCCs you have to buy two tickets and have to recheck any bags. Around 100 euros + as well.
If you get to CDG.. Aerolineas Argentinas offers low ow fares to MAD with their 18.20 flight.

Take the train?

is the French railway company. The journey is about 15hrs, and there is some kind of sleeper service.
