From Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (Recommended):
1. By train: The train station is located in level -1 of terminal 4. You should take there a train called “Cercanías”, line C1 or C10 to “CHAMARTÍN”. It takes 15min to get there. You can check it here: www.renfe.com/viajeros/cercanias/madrid
Then, you should take a train to León from there. You can buy the tickets from: www.renfe.com
There is a variety of trains and prices, from the fast trains (AVE) that take 2h and 15 min, to slower trains that take 5h and 23 min, there are even hotel-trains. The cost ranges are also wide, from 42,90€ to 19,90€.
2. By bus: There are some direct buses from the airport. It takes approximately 4:30-5h to get to León and it costs between 25 and 35€.

3. By plane: There are not direct flights to León. You will have to make a stopover at Barcelona. Other options of nearby airports could be Valladolid (which has a small airport with a bus service directly to León -11€) or Oviedo. The most common option is to fly to Madrid that has the most transport options to León.
Another option would be take Metro line 8 from the airport to “NUEVOS MINISTERIOS”. Once there, you should take line 6 and get out at “MENDEZ ALVARO”. There are some mechanic stairs where you have to go up and arrive at “Estación Sur” (bus station). It is run by the same company and the tickets are sold as well from https://www.alsa.es/. The bus takes 3 hours 45 min to get to León so we highly recommend take the bus from the airport.
