How rent is measured

Median monthly rent actually paid for flats across the municipality, from leases declared to Spain's tax agency. Rent PAID, not asked: the whole monthly rent of FLATS (vivienda colectiva) under habitual-residence leases declared to the Spanish tax agency (AEAT), published by the Ministerio de Vivienda y Agenda Urbana as SERPAVI. The figure is the median with the 25th–75th percentile band, over the whole municipality. It counts EVERY declared lease, old ones included, so it runs below what a newcomer is asked today; it has no bedroom or furnishing split. Compares within Spain only.

These are straight lines, not routes. Flight distances are measured airport to airport across the Earth's surface, from TFS to each destination's main airport. The drive to TFS is the exception: that one is a measured road route.

Estimated flying time is our own arithmetic, not a timetable: the straight-line distance flown at 780 km/h, plus 45 minutes for taxi, climb and descent, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. A real flight is longer than a straight line, and whether a nonstop exists at all changes by season and airline — check current schedules.

The 108 destinations above are a chosen list, not every city — the capital and the largest cities of each country we publish for, by population (up to ten for the United States, five for Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, three elsewhere). Two cities served by the same airport appear once. A city that is not on the list is not unusually far; it is simply not on the list.
