Very helpful video! I would like to ask if you know… I will be returning from Mexico City to Athens through Madrid ( T4s arrival ) and I will have a 55’ layover to change from T4S to T4 ( daparture to Greece ) do you consider enough time ( 55’ ) to pass through the one to terminal to another ????!!! Thank in advance
@@lampros1983 Hi Lampros. In a non-pandemic time, and with everything running on time, you should have enough time. But bear in mind there have been times where we had to stand 40 minutes at the immigration queue at T4S... never mind the fact than COVID checks can slow things down greatly. We would not buy that short connection, but our tolerance to risk is very low. All the best!
@@lampros1983 you too, and have a nice trip as well. The main factor of uncertainty right now are the COVID checks queueing time. So hard to give any estimates at all!
I'm a Japanese tour guide. This is my first time going to Spain with my guests, but thanks to you I think I'll be able to enter the country without any worries! Arigatou😊
I'm not even in the end of the video and it's being incredibly helpful so far! Thank you very much, we need more content like these for other airports in europe!
@ I went to the counter at Iberia before my flight and the manager was able to connect the two trips without any issues and have my flight checked at the final destination! Plenty of time! They were agents also letting you cut the lines if you had a tight connection at customs!
To be honest, we strive to make all our videos accurate, but this one is more specific to the topic whereas the general video on connections at Madrid airport covers much more ground.
Great to hear that. Do not miss our up-to-date video on how to leave the airport here: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html And here's the entire collection of videos dedicated to Madrid in the channel: ruclips.net/p/PLWH9E2sQGItr9vAqqoZTXoslMhXfc9r-M All the best!
Love these videos. So helpful. Heading to Spain in September 2024 and will be travelling around by train. Definately feeling more confident about it. Thanks Tony
Thank you so much Tony! This video is great. I will be travelling from London to Madrid in September, and will arrive at T4S. I did not know you have to then get to T4. Well now I do! Just one question, for my flight back since I have to go to T4, do I then proceed to go straight to T4S or go after checking in and going through security at T4? Thank you.
After getting my luggage at the baggage carousel area, how do I go to the bus parking area my local coach is parked waiting for me and 14 more companions? I remember we had to take an escalator. Then, walk. Many thanks.
Oh my... so glad I found this video and your channel! I'm flying from PHL to MAD (4S) then to T4 for a connecting flight to Bordeaux. I have a US passport. I see folks here talking about collecting their bags, but I assume my bags would be checked all the way to my final destination in Bordeaux, no? If this is the case, would 1 hour be enough to make the connection? It seems like I would be cutting it close. Leaving in a few days.
Hi Sal, cannot comment on the issue of your bags as you don't mention the companies you are flying with. Two hours minimum for a safe connection. You can easily spend one hour at passport control. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal It was a mess with the airlines as my original flight to Bordeaux was cancelled. My reservation is with Finnair, however I am flying American from PHL to BOS, then Iberia from BOS to MAD, then Iberia from MAD to BOD. Everything is on one reservation so I expect my bags will be checked from PHL through to BOD. So once I get to Madrid T4, I'll have to find my way to the gate for my flight to BOD. I hope that's not an ordeal. I'm debating whether to walk from T4S to T4 or take the shuttle. I'm thinking the shuttle may get me there faster, but that saved time may evaporate since I would then have to go through security again. I am so stressed out about this. And we leave Friday😞
@@windishmearplease watch the video, there is just the one way of getting from T4S to T4, and that's the train. Hopefully your bags will be checked through to your final destination. At least from Boston onwards. Wishing you luck!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Got it. I got bad information. Thankfully I found you. One thing...your video ends assuming the journey ends in Madrid. I will need to get on another flight to Bordeaux. Is there a tip or some direction you can give me so I don't waste a second going the wrong way? Do I take the escalator upstairs? The video shows us ending up in baggage claim, but I need to go whatever gate I need to for my next flight.
@@windishmear Sal, whenever you leave the last escalator, once at T4, instead of turning left to reach the baggage reclaim area, turn right to enter the connections area. All the best.
Thank you so much. We just went last year and stayed in Madrid. This summer we're going to A Coruna and will have to change planes. What happens for in-transit passengers once reaching Madrid?
Thanx for this video... however I would have one specific question: EU citizen arriving from Vienna to Madrid T4 and having 70min to move to the connection flight to Santiago do Chile T4S (both flight operated by Iberia). Is it OK, or too risky?
Hi Rudo, we have a video specifically on connections at Madrid airport where we deal with the issue of times here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html If everything goes perfectly fine, 70 minutes might be doable, but we would never accept it, there is an element of risk involved.
Hi thank you for a very informative video. Can I ask how can I get to the Alsa bus station in T4 ,please, is it a long walk and how much time will it take, gracias
We are terminal 4s to terminal 4 and catching a flight to Bilboa with 1 hr 20 minutes to change. Do we have to pick up our luggage, recheck and go through security again? The video only covers arriving passengers to Madrid. Thanks.
That depends on whether you are flying with the same company or not. We have a video on connecting flights here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Hello! Thank you for this excellent tutorial! If possible, I would like you to help me with one more clarification; I will arrive in Madrid from Budapest (with Iberia) at Terminal: 4-T4 and I will leave to Havana (with Iberia) from Terminal: 4S-4S. No I'm sure where the 2 terminals are. I have the impression that I'm in the new airport but I'm not sure. Can you help me and clarify this problem? Thank you in advance for a possible answer! Terminal 4-T4 is Terminal T4 and Terminal 4S-4S is Terminal T4S? Sorin
Hi Sorin, we have a video on connections at Madrid airport where we explain what the layout of the airport and its terminals is like: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
how much time should one allocate for connections? Iberia from the US to Berlin, connection windows is only 85 minutes and not sure going from T4S to T4 is possible with short connection window.
Thank you for the informative and useful vdo. I have a question on how to proceed for the connecting flight at T4. After I land in T4S, go thru immigration and everything including receiving my luggage at T4. I need to do a checkin and bag drop for the connecting flight (as it is bought separately). From baggage reclaim area, how can I go to the depature area for checkin? Thank you very much
Hi Tanya. Once you have your luggage, exit to the open area of the airport, look for an elevator (they will be very close to the exit, to the left and to the right) and go up to the departures level. All the best.
Great video..thanks. I have a connection in terminal 4 to Valencia after arrving at T4S..is 1 1/2 hrs time enough? Will I have to have my carry-on rechecked through security? Thanks.
Thank you! We have a video dedicated to connections at Madrid airport here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html You will go through security again once you reach T4. The key is whether you have an EU passport or not. Without an EU passport, the immigration queues can be massive.
Great video thank you fo the information. I do have a question, mine is a connecting flight from Madrid to Qatar but I have to pick up my luggage and then check it in again, my flight arrives in TS4, so in this case I need to pick up my luggage on T4 and then check it in again in T4 or do I need to pick up in T4 and check it in in TS4? So question is where do I pick it and where do I check it back in? Thanks!
Emir, Alsa buses depart from a small bus terminal located near T4. We will be publishing shortly and updated video on how to leave the airport where we will show the location of the terminal (it was inaugurated recently).
We need more details to be able to answer your question. Here we talk about connections at Madrid airport and explain the details we need to know to be able to help ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Thank you for your videos, they are extremely helpful. If one is arriving from NYC in Madrid on Iberia, it seems like I'd be arriving in T4S right? If so, I'd like to know whether (barring any flight delays), a touch down in MAD airport at 625 would allow me to get to Atocha by 930am for an EVA to the south of Spain? I watched your videos and planned on using the train from Terminal 4 to Atocha. Thank you in advance.
Hello Charbel, yes, you should be arriving at T4S. In our video with tips about the high-speed train in Spain ( ruclips.net/video/QYvUn-sJxZ4/видео.html ) we advice a minimum of four hours between touch down and departure of the train. All the best!
I am coming from U.S. to Madrid, then connecting to Valencia all on American Airlines. Would you please clarify the exact procedures I would have to do?
To be able to help we need to know the airline you will be flying with from Madrid to Valencia, American Airlines doesn’t fly that route, it might be a code-share with a local airline.
then you will arrive at T4S and depart from T4. Do as shown on the video and when you get to T4, look for the gate to the terminals rather than the baggage reclaim area.
Thanks forth is video, especially for a tourist who may not be aware that anyone going from T4S to T4 need to clear customs/immigration at T4S before going to T4. Sounds like 2 hrs may not be enough time for a USA Passport holder to get from one Iberia flight at T4S, to a BCN bound Iberia flight at T4, especially if he/she has baggage to collect first.
thanks, Muek. If you fly both legs with Iberia, your baggage should go through to Barcelona, but double check this at the check-in counter. In normal times, 2 hours would be just about enough time, but with the added uncertainty of delays due to Covid checks at the airport, we would allow for slightly more time. All the best!
Are there luggage carts at baggage claim? And where is a bank atm ? Thanks Tony for all your help . I’ve been recommending your videos in my travel Facebook groups 🙂
Hi Penny, there are luggage carts indeed. There is a La Caixa ATM on the departures level (2) of T4, after the checkin-desks and to the right of the security control. All the best!
Wow this video is awesome!! I have a flight from IAD to BCN with a layover in MAD for 1 hour and 40 mins. I will not have to collect my bag in MAD. I have a US passport and I am flying Iberia business class. Do i have enough time to make my flight?
Hi thank for your reply but you did not understand my question we arrive from Boston to terminal 4S we have only carry on so on terminal 4S we go through the passport control and through the security we have to go after we get to terminal 4?
Once you get to T4, instead of going left to the area where you retrieve your luggage, you will go right to enter the transfer area, it is very well signposted.
This is great when landing in Madrid and having a connecting flight into else where could you please post any advice on when to go after the baggage collection many thanks.
@@jeanettehill2007 if both flights are flown with the same company your baggage should be sent to its final destination (but double-check this at the time of checking in in Alicante). Your plane will land at T2 and you will have to head to T1 nearby. Just follow the signs.
Thank you so much both flight are the same company however I will definitely check as you say ,really appreciate your help have a wonderful Christmas and 2022 . kindest regards Jeanette 😊
When you get to terminal 4, rather than going to the luggage reclaim area, turn right to reach the transfer area. See also ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Hello! Thank you for the informative video. I have a question regarding my flight and whether I am able to make my connecting flight. I have a flight from NYC to Madrid through Iberia arriving 10:20am and have a connecting flight from Madrid to Rome departing at 11:25am also through Iberia. Would I be able to make the connecting flight?
Hello there, we have a video on connections at Madrid airport where we share our opinion on how much time you should put aside for a safe connection. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html Yours is a high risk connection, we would never accept it.
Love your informative video! Extremely helpful! Plan on using the train from the airport to Madrid in May IF Spain relaxes Covid restrictions ( we're not "boostered"). Have you heard anything of what's going to happen in May?
Howdy! Thanks so much for the great video and here is my question; we are flying from Dallas Business Class and driving to Rioja so we would like to take a quick shower at one of the two lounges (Dali or Velasquez?) but not sure if we can access either one after picking up our luggage or has to be before luggage p/u and if we can which one is more convenient?
Hi i have a question. Im traveling to Barcelona with connection in Madrid. Im travelling with a dog in cabin. Where do you go after landing with the pet?
I am travelling in June to T4S and have a connecting Alsa coach from T4 but I have 1 hour after it’s scheduled to land? Ok or should I change to a later coach ?
We never leave less than 3 hours between the estimated arrival time and the departure of the bus. If you're unlucky, it can take you one hour to go through immigration.
We fly from Boston to Madrid, arriving in Madrid at terminal 4S then we have to go through the passport control at terminal 4S then take a train to terminal 4 From terminal 4 we have to take flight to Barcelona My question is where do we go through the customs before getting to our gate to Barcelona on terminal 4?
This is very helpful Tony! I looked through the comments, but didn't see this question posed. I am coming domestically from Bilbao, Spain to Madrid, then to the US. I land in T4 and have to transfer to T4S. Will we have to go through security again when go from T4 to T4S? Does that change if we have checked baggage? Our connection is only 75 minutes.
Hi Stephanie, we've never done that type of connection but at some state you might have to go through a security check - although not the main one for incoming passengers. All the best.
Assuming you are connecting from T4S to T4, yes, once you reach T4, instead of turning left to go to the baggage reclaim area, you will turn right to enter the connecting area.
Una duda. Tengo que hacer escala en Madrid para coger otro vuelo de Iberia, que imagino sera del Terminal T4. He estado varias veces pero siempre he tenido 3 a 4 horas de espera. Es suficiente una hora y 20 minutos para cambiar de terminal y llegar a la puerta de embarque?
Helpful video. We are arriving from Miami/USA to T4S with a connecting flight at T4 60 min later. We are in Business Class. Will our bags be boarded on the connecting flight? No need to collect bags in MAD if our final destination is Italy?? Is that correct? Just go straight to connecting flight?
See our video on connecting flights at Madrid airport: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html There you'll see all the info we need to be able to help. A 60 minute connection at Madrid Barajas is an absolute no-no.
Please can you help me. I am flying into 4S on american airlines operated by iberia from the uk and then 1 hour later am flying out of 4s on american airlines to san juan. What do i do to catch my connecting flight please?
When you disembark from your first flight, head to the transfer area, go through security and search for your boarding gate. We would never accept a connecting time of 1 hour in Madrid, which is fine only if absolutely everything goes on time.
very useful when i am making my homework :) please advise, if i have a connection flight from out of Europe, landing in 4ST, and then need to go to Barcelona, without luggage , what do i do after arriving to 4T in the internal train ? going to the gates ? is there a special road for a connection ? thanks !
Assuming your second flight is from T4, the moment you leave the escalator at T4, coming from the train station, instead of turning right to retrieve your luggage turn left to enter the terminal and get to your boarding gate.
Thank you very much for the informative video. I'm flying to Madrid from Morocco on rayanair and slef-transfering to Düsseldorf on iberia. Could please tell me how I'm supposed to do that? The second flight is leaving from Terminal4.
Hi Zoubida. You will arrive at T2. Go to the departures level, exit the terminal and look for the free shuttle bus (green and blue color) that will take you to T4. We advice you to allow at least 2 and a half hours to complete the connection without hassle. All the best!
Hola, soy Nancy. Voy a Roma haciendo escala en Madrid. Llego a las 10:25 a Barajas T4S y salgo a las 11:25 de Barajas T4. Vi el video y me pregunto si es suficiente el tiempo para no perder la conexión pues voy a Roma. Que me dices?
Thank you for the advice! (We were debating if we would leave from T2 together and head into the city from there, but T4 sounds good! Problem solved 👍)
@@BC-eb4hd passengers arriving at T2 can enter the open area of the terminal through two different (and separate doors). Passengers arriving at T4 leave through just the one gate.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Good to know, will pass this information along. Thank you for the prompt reply! It was only recently that I've discovered your channel, finding the contents are very informative. Excellent job, Cecilia and Tony!!
Hola Tony Galvez! Great channel! We will fly into Madrid Barajas Terminal 4 from Australia (at end of Sep) and we need to catch connecting flight to Malaga in Terminal 2. There is a free shuttle bus which takes about 10 minutes, I found on Barajas internet site. It is possible to walk from Terminal 4 arrivals to Terminal 2 departures on foot or the shuttle bus is the only option?? Also, we land in Terminal 4 at 0730am and the Terminal 2 flight to Malaga is at 10:30am i.e. ~3 hours later. Should this be sufficient time to collect all international luggage, passports, customs and then go to domestic check-in for our flight to Malaga? Gracias, from Australia.

Yes I’ve see your video, but I don’t undesteand if i ve to go from t2 to t4s i ve to go out of the airport and re do the security check? Or there is a transit way without exit from the airport?
@@silenzioditomba5754 it's difficult for us to add information that is not present in the video we have pointed out to you. You take the bus from T2 to T4, check in for your new flight, and then the train from T4 to T4S, it's all the in the video, along with a presentation of the terminal layout of the airport.
Thanks for the video. Quick question. I am flying from London to Madrid with Iberia Airlines which lands at terminal 4S. Then have a 55 mins connection time, before the next flight, again with Iberia, which takes off from Terminal 4 to Barcelona. I have Schengen visa and need to get through immigration. Do you think 55mins is enough for me to board the next flight? Can you suggest how best I use my time to board the next flight?
Hi, on our video about flight connections at Madrid airport here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html we advise a minimum of two hours for a stress-free connection. The airport is operating well beyond its operational capacity and delays are common.
Hello we are going from Portugal to Madrid (terminal 4) and them to LAX (Terminal 4s) (we have 1h30 of layover) any tip that you can provide so we can speed up from terminar 4 to terminal 4s? also the passport check it's done on 4s? is there a way that we can "skip" the line? how busy it is?
That is a very tight layover (passengers flying to the US are requested to allow for extra time due to additional security checks). Very specific advice: get a seat at the front of the aircraft so you speed up your exit from the plane. Passport check is at T4S.
hi very helpful info for those newcomer to come at madrid like me, just a question what can you advice for me to take to go to Lisbon from Madrid since I will arrive at 830 pm . Is there a overnight train or bus which go straight in Lisbon?
Hello! In few days I'll have a stopover in madrid to take a connection Flight to south america. The terminals involved are T4 (which I'll arrive at from italy) and T4S (from where I'm supposed to take the other plane to SA. The time established for this connection is barely an hour, but on the website where I booked my ticket they said it's managed by the same company. Do you think I'll be able to reach terminak T4S from T4 within an hour? I'm seriously doubting it
Hi Miriam, on this video we deal with the issue of connecting times at Madrid airport ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html We would never accept a connection of just the one hour.
On the video we mentioned in our reply you'll find what we estimate to be a safe amount of time for a connection T4S to T4. We thought that was your question, but let us know if we misunderstood you.
Sorry but I can't find that information in the video and I rewatched it many times, can you drop it here please? I'd really appreciate it❤@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
We would never accept a T4 to T4S connection of less than two hours, provided that my luggage is sent directly to the final destination. If I had to pickup my luggage, we would leave three hours.
Hi Thanks for your helpful video's. May I please ask: we will by landing at T4s. If we take a RENFE TRAIN to Pamplona , must we also go to T4? If we decided to take a BUS or a TAXI ? Thank you in advance. Yolanda
Hello and thank you for the very helpful video. I will be landing in 4S at 9:45am and my bus is at the bus station in T4 at 11:15. Would you think that I have enough time ?
Hi Michael, welcome to the channel! All running well, you should have enough time. The problem is that COVID-check queues are a new uncertainty, we don't really understand how they form and how long they can take. When we do a plane>bus connection at Madrid airport we always leave a buffer of at least two hours, as our tolerance to risk is truly low. All the best!
How long does it take to get from Terminal 4s to Terminal 4 I have one hour and forty five minutes (1:45) from the moment I land in Terminal 4s until I board the flight in Terminal 4 without luggage! Will I make it? Thank you very much for the video and information
The train takes 10 minutes, the problem is the queue at immigration. The minimum time we recommend is two hours, amount of time we would definitely increase during this summer season where airport delays in Europe seem to be the norm.
Thank you so much for this video! This has been super helpful for my upcoming trip 😊Question: I have an outbound flight leaving Barajas T4 at 12:30p but will be arriving at the Airport around 10:25a - is 2hrs before my flight departure enough time to get through customs, baggage check, etc.?
Hi Jennifer, you don't mention where your flight is going to. During the high season airlines are urging passengers to arrive to the airport 3 hours in advance.
@@jenniferstone2254 many tourists around in September. Passengers flying to the US are requested to arrive even earlier due to additional security checks.
Hi, great video! I am flying from the US (JFK) to MAD (arriving T4S). I have 1hr 30minutes to make a layover for a flight to GRX (T4). Do you think that this would be enough time? Both flights are the same airline (Iberia), booked on the same ticket. What about for the return trip? GRX to MAD (T4 arrival), transfer to T4S for a flight to JFK?
Hi Victoria. In COVID times, with COVID checks involved, we would be cautious an allow for two hours for a T4S>T4 connection. In the case of T4>T4S, the time needed is shorter as there is no immigration control or COVID checks. All the best!
If you're arriving at Madrid-Barajas Airport in Terminal 4 (T4) and have a connecting flight departing from Terminal 4S (T4S), you can use the Automatic People Mover (APM) to travel between the two terminals. - This is an underground automated train that connects T4 and T4S. - Both stations are located on Level -2 of their respective terminals. - Follow the signage to the APM to ensure a smooth transfer. Keep in mind that the train departs every 5 minutes, making it an efficient option even for short connection times.
Great video! I’m traveling to Spain from the US but have a layover in Madrid and then traveling on to Jerez. My flight leaves from T4 to Jerez. Will I need to pick up my luggage and recheck it and then go through security again? I have a 5.5 hour layover so I should have plenty of time either way. I booked my flight directly with Iberia.
Thank you. You have plenty of time for an stress-free connection. If you are flying both legs with the same airline, your luggage will theoretically should go through to Jerez, but double-check at the check-in counter.
Thanks for the video, I'll have to travel from Italy to USA and have a stop in Madrid (The same when i'll come back), I'll arrive to terminal T4 and i'll need to go to the T4S, i'll have 2.10h to do all.. do you think it's ok thinking about the security check too? The controll will be made in both terminal?
Andrea, you don't mention whether you are flying with the same airline. If you don't have to take care of your luggage during the connection, you should have enough time. You will only go through immigration when you arrive from the States.

My son is 15 years old and he is going by himself for first time to Spain.He is very anxious and we want to know wich terminal he will arrive and also wich terminal he needs to go .He is flying Iberia from Miami - Madrid- Granada.Thank you!
We've already replied to a similar question you left at another video. There is no need to duplicate questions, we make an effort to reply to every single one.
My flight came from Dusseldorf to Madrid (IB3137) and they docked at T4S on 06/30/2022. I had a short connection time about 65 minutes in order to fly from T4 H4 to A Coruña. At 4:22 I turned right to a new handpackage control in order to get the H4.
It's not common but not unusual for a Schengen flight to dock at T4S, that's why we always stress the importance of double-checking the details on the boarding card. You're right, after leaving the final escalator, turn right for the connections area.
I have a question regarding immigration at Madrid airport!! I will flight with my family this upcoming August from BOS to LIS via Madrid with only one hour to transfer from TS4 to Ts I have dual citizenship so I can use the electronic passport check but my family only have USA passports my question is ….is there a fast way to check immigration with a party of 9 and make it to the connection flight in one hour!!! Any advice will be appreciated!!
Louis, as far as we know, there is only a express line for those passengers flying business. It is the passenger’s responsibility to ensure enough time for a succesful connection. 1 hour is an extremely risky business, even more so at a time when queues at Madrid airport can be incrdibly slow. Our advice would be, change the second flight if possible.
My parents (Spaniards) will be traveling with Iberia from Barcelona to Los Angeles, with a layover in Madrid. And, a month later, they´ll travel in the opposite direction to return home. The layover for the outbound flight is 1h 20min, arriving at T4 and departing to Los Angeles from T4S. For the return layover, they will arrive at 4S and take their connecting flight to Barcelona from T4. There are 2 layover options: 2 hours or 3.5 hours. I wonder if 2 hours would be enough in this case. Please, let me know if the layover times sound reasonable both ways and if you would recommend the longer layover time for their return flight. Thanks!
Hola Susana. We would never purchase a connection of 1h 20min at Barajas, as it involves a certain degree of risk - but that's us. The good side to that specific connection T4>T4S is that there is no immigration control on arrival, so things tend to be faster. As for the way back, if there are no delays, 2 hours should be enough, but we haven't gone through Barajas in pandemic times and don't know what impact the COVID controls have on the required time to complete the connection. P.S.: we have a channel in Spanish with a similar vídeo that your parents might appreciate: ruclips.net/video/OjmEG1efVpI/видео.html
Thanks for very informative video. I have question. I am flying from Vienna to Madrid T4 (Iberia) and then I have to move to T4S for my flight to Havana (Iberia).

Hi Marka, we've never done a T4>T4S connection at Madrid airport, but these days security checks are quite common everywhere. Arriving from Vienna you won't go through any immigration control, but we can't tell for sure whether there will be a security check.

@@SilviaManentFinancialAdvisor Hey, did you manage it? I have to claim baggage and Check in again in 1.4 hours too. Appreciate any tips:)
@ I went to the counter at Iberia before my flight and the manager was able to connect the two trips without any issues and have my flight checked at the final destination! Plenty of time! They were agents also letting you cut the lines if you had a tight connection at customs!
Traveling from Boston to Madrid next week. Very helpful information

After getting my luggage at the baggage carousel area, how do I go to the bus parking area my local coach is parked waiting for me and 14 more companions? I remember we had to take an escalator. Then, walk. Many thanks.
You will probably have to go to the coach station, as explained here ruclips.net/video/eq1mDR4XH90/видео.html , but double check with your company.

Hola una pregunta. De la terminal T4 salen vuelos de Iberia an Asturias? Muchas gracias or la ayuda
Sí. De la T4.
Muchas gracias por la ayuda y por su canal😀.
Oh my... so glad I found this video and your channel! I'm flying from PHL to MAD (4S) then to T4 for a connecting flight to Bordeaux. I have a US passport. I see folks here talking about collecting their bags, but I assume my bags would be checked all the way to my final destination in Bordeaux, no? If this is the case, would 1 hour be enough to make the connection? It seems like I would be cutting it close. Leaving in a few days.
Hi Sal, cannot comment on the issue of your bags as you don't mention the companies you are flying with. Two hours minimum for a safe connection. You can easily spend one hour at passport control. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal It was a mess with the airlines as my original flight to Bordeaux was cancelled. My reservation is with Finnair, however I am flying American from PHL to BOS, then Iberia from BOS to MAD, then Iberia from MAD to BOD. Everything is on one reservation so I expect my bags will be checked from PHL through to BOD. So once I get to Madrid T4, I'll have to find my way to the gate for my flight to BOD. I hope that's not an ordeal. I'm debating whether to walk from T4S to T4 or take the shuttle. I'm thinking the shuttle may get me there faster, but that saved time may evaporate since I would then have to go through security again. I am so stressed out about this. And we leave Friday😞
@@windishmearplease watch the video, there is just the one way of getting from T4S to T4, and that's the train. Hopefully your bags will be checked through to your final destination. At least from Boston onwards. Wishing you luck!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Got it. I got bad information. Thankfully I found you. One thing...your video ends assuming the journey ends in Madrid. I will need to get on another flight to Bordeaux. Is there a tip or some direction you can give me so I don't waste a second going the wrong way? Do I take the escalator upstairs? The video shows us ending up in baggage claim, but I need to go whatever gate I need to for my next flight.
@@windishmear Sal, whenever you leave the last escalator, once at T4, instead of turning left to reach the baggage reclaim area, turn right to enter the connections area. All the best.
Thank you so much. We just went last year and stayed in Madrid. This summer we're going to A Coruna and will have to change planes. What happens for in-transit passengers once reaching Madrid?
Hi Silvia, we have a video on the topic here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Thanx for this video... however I would have one specific question: EU citizen arriving from Vienna to Madrid T4 and having 70min to move to the connection flight to Santiago do Chile T4S (both flight operated by Iberia). Is it OK, or too risky?
Hi Rudo, we have a video specifically on connections at Madrid airport where we deal with the issue of times here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html If everything goes perfectly fine, 70 minutes might be doable, but we would never accept it, there is an element of risk involved.
Where would be a good meeting point in T4 to meet up with friends?
Just outside the gate from where passengers emerge into the open part of the airport.
Hi thank you for a very informative video. Can I ask how can I get to the Alsa bus station in T4 ,please, is it a long walk and how much time will it take, gracias
We show you how to reach the station in this video: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html
Good instruction video. Thanks.
Thank you, Rahul!
Sir, is there a luggage storage Rent area in terminal 4 Madrid Airport?
There is indeed.
We are terminal 4s to terminal 4 and catching a flight to Bilboa with 1 hr 20 minutes to change. Do we have to pick up our luggage, recheck and go through security again? The video only covers arriving passengers to Madrid. Thanks.
That depends on whether you are flying with the same company or not. We have a video on connecting flights here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Hello!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! If possible, I would like you to help me with one more clarification; I will arrive in Madrid from Budapest (with Iberia) at Terminal: 4-T4 and I will leave to Havana (with Iberia) from Terminal: 4S-4S. No I'm sure where the 2 terminals are. I have the impression that I'm in the new airport but I'm not sure. Can you help me and clarify this problem? Thank you in advance for a possible answer!
Terminal 4-T4 is Terminal T4 and Terminal 4S-4S is Terminal T4S?
Sorin
Hi Sorin, we have a video on connections at Madrid airport where we explain what the layout of the airport and its terminals is like: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Thank you for the extremely fast reply.
But on my plane ticket it says Terminal 4S. Is this actually the T4S terminal?
Thanks
@@soringrigore374 Terminal 4S and T4S are exactly the same place, T stands for Terminal.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 👋👋
how much time should one allocate for connections? Iberia from the US to Berlin, connection windows is only 85 minutes and not sure going from T4S to T4 is possible with short connection window.
See here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Thank you for the informative and useful vdo. I have a question on how to proceed for the connecting flight at T4. After I land in T4S, go thru immigration and everything including receiving my luggage at T4. I need to do a checkin and bag drop for the connecting flight (as it is bought separately). From baggage reclaim area, how can I go to the depature area for checkin?
Thank you very much
Hi Tanya. Once you have your luggage, exit to the open area of the airport, look for an elevator (they will be very close to the exit, to the left and to the right) and go up to the departures level. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much. You are the best!

Great video..thanks. I have a connection in terminal 4 to Valencia after arrving at T4S..is 1 1/2 hrs time enough? Will I have to have my carry-on rechecked through security? Thanks.
Thank you! We have a video dedicated to connections at Madrid airport here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html You will go through security again once you reach T4. The key is whether you have an EU passport or not. Without an EU passport, the immigration queues can be massive.

Great video thank you fo the information. I do have a question, mine is a connecting flight from Madrid to Qatar but I have to pick up my luggage and then check it in again, my flight arrives in TS4, so in this case I need to pick up my luggage on T4 and then check it in again in T4 or do I need to pick up in T4 and check it in in TS4? So question is where do I pick it and where do I check it back in? Thanks!
Mario, to be able to help we need to know origin/destination of your flights and companies you are flying with.
Thank you for this video. I will fly to Madrid from Istanbul and then I will use alsa for going Murcia. I want to ask that where are alsa buses? T4?
Emir, Alsa buses depart from a small bus terminal located near T4. We will be publishing shortly and updated video on how to leave the airport where we will show the location of the terminal (it was inaugurated recently).
We will be making a connection to continue to Barcelona in T4. Do We have to go through security again?
We need more details to be able to answer your question. Here we talk about connections at Madrid airport and explain the details we need to know to be able to help ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Thank you for your videos, they are extremely helpful. If one is arriving from NYC in Madrid on Iberia, it seems like I'd be arriving in T4S right? If so, I'd like to know whether (barring any flight delays), a touch down in MAD airport at 625 would allow me to get to Atocha by 930am for an EVA to the south of Spain? I watched your videos and planned on using the train from Terminal 4 to Atocha.
Thank you in advance.
Hello Charbel, yes, you should be arriving at T4S. In our video with tips about the high-speed train in Spain ( ruclips.net/video/QYvUn-sJxZ4/видео.html ) we advice a minimum of four hours between touch down and departure of the train. All the best!
I am coming from U.S. to Madrid, then connecting to Valencia all on American Airlines. Would you please clarify the exact procedures I would have to do?
To be able to help we need to know the airline you will be flying with from Madrid to Valencia, American Airlines doesn’t fly that route, it might be a code-share with a local airline.
It is a codeshare with Iberia
then you will arrive at T4S and depart from T4. Do as shown on the video and when you get to T4, look for the gate to the terminals rather than the baggage reclaim area.
Thanks forth is video, especially for a tourist who may not be aware that anyone going from T4S to T4 need to clear customs/immigration at T4S before going to T4. Sounds like 2 hrs may not be enough time for a USA Passport holder to get from one Iberia flight at T4S, to a BCN bound Iberia flight at T4, especially if he/she has baggage to collect first.
thanks, Muek. If you fly both legs with Iberia, your baggage should go through to Barcelona, but double check this at the check-in counter. In normal times, 2 hours would be just about enough time, but with the added uncertainty of delays due to Covid checks at the airport, we would allow for slightly more time. All the best!
Are there luggage carts at baggage claim? And where is a bank atm ? Thanks Tony for all your help . I’ve been recommending your videos in my travel Facebook groups 🙂
Hi Penny, there are luggage carts indeed. There is a La Caixa ATM on the departures level (2) of T4, after the checkin-desks and to the right of the security control. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you so very much !

Hi thank for your reply but you did not understand my question we arrive from Boston to terminal 4S we have only carry on so on terminal 4S we go through the passport control and through the security we have to go after we get to terminal 4?
Once you get to T4, instead of going left to the area where you retrieve your luggage, you will go right to enter the transfer area, it is very well signposted.
This is great when landing in Madrid and having a connecting flight into else where could you please post any advice on when to go after the baggage collection many thanks.

Hello! Thank you for the informative video.

Hello there, we have a video on connections at Madrid airport where we share our opinion on how much time you should put aside for a safe connection. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html Yours is a high risk connection, we would never accept it.
Love your informative video! Extremely helpful! Plan on using the train from the airport to Madrid in May IF Spain relaxes Covid restrictions ( we're not "boostered"). Have you heard anything of what's going to happen in May?
Hi Delsia, we've got no idea, but you can check the current restrictions here: travelsafe.spain.info/es/ At the moment, cases are rising up quickly.
Howdy! Thanks so much for the great video and here is my question; we are flying from Dallas Business Class and driving to Rioja so we would like to take a quick shower at one of the two lounges (Dali or Velasquez?) but not sure if we can access either one after picking up our luggage or has to be before luggage p/u and if we can which one is more convenient?

Hi i have a question. Im traveling to Barcelona with connection in Madrid. Im travelling with a dog in cabin. Where do you go after landing with the pet?
Hello there, we have no experience of traveling with a dog, it would be better if you asked the airline for specific instructions on how to proceed.
Hello and thanks for the video. If I'm flying out of T4s, where do I check in my buggage and go through passport control? Thank you.
Hi Boris, you check in you luggage at T4 and then take the train to T4S. Your travel documents will be checked when you reach T4S.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you so much!
I am travelling in June to T4S and have a connecting Alsa coach from T4 but I have 1 hour after it’s scheduled to land? Ok or should I change to a later coach ?
We never leave less than 3 hours between the estimated arrival time and the departure of the bus. If you're unlucky, it can take you one hour to go through immigration.
We fly from Boston to Madrid, arriving in Madrid at terminal 4S then we have to go through the passport control at terminal 4S then take a train to terminal 4 From terminal 4 we have to take flight to Barcelona My question is where do we go through the customs before getting to our gate to Barcelona on terminal 4?
If your luggage is sent through to Barcelona, any customs control will be carried out in Barcelona.
This is very helpful Tony! I looked through the comments, but didn't see this question posed. I am coming domestically from Bilbao, Spain to Madrid, then to the US. I land in T4 and have to transfer to T4S. Will we have to go through security again when go from T4 to T4S? Does that change if we have checked baggage? Our connection is only 75 minutes.
Hi Stephanie, we've never done that type of connection but at some state you might have to go through a security check - although not the main one for incoming passengers. All the best.
If I am taking a connecting flight to Lisbon, do I still follow the same route?
Assuming you are connecting from T4S to T4, yes, once you reach T4, instead of turning left to go to the baggage reclaim area, you will turn right to enter the connecting area.
Una duda. Tengo que hacer escala en Madrid para coger otro vuelo de Iberia, que imagino sera del Terminal T4. He estado varias veces pero siempre he tenido 3 a 4 horas de espera. Es suficiente una hora y 20 minutos para cambiar de terminal y llegar a la puerta de embarque?
El mismo vídeo, en español: ruclips.net/video/OjmEG1efVpI/видео.html Deja tu pregunta ahí.
Helpful video. We are arriving from Miami/USA to T4S with a connecting flight at T4 60 min later. We are in Business Class. Will our bags be boarded on the connecting flight? No need to collect bags in MAD if our final destination is Italy?? Is that correct? Just go straight to connecting flight?
See our video on connecting flights at Madrid airport: ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html There you'll see all the info we need to be able to help. A 60 minute connection at Madrid Barajas is an absolute no-no.
Please can you help me. I am flying into 4S on american airlines operated by iberia from the uk and then 1 hour later am flying out of 4s on american airlines to san juan. What do i do to catch my connecting flight please?
When you disembark from your first flight, head to the transfer area, go through security and search for your boarding gate. We would never accept a connecting time of 1 hour in Madrid, which is fine only if absolutely everything goes on time.
very useful when i am making my homework :) please advise, if i have a connection flight from out of Europe, landing in 4ST, and then need to go to Barcelona, without luggage , what do i do after arriving to 4T in the internal train ? going to the gates ? is there a special road for a connection ? thanks !
Assuming your second flight is from T4, the moment you leave the escalator at T4, coming from the train station, instead of turning right to retrieve your luggage turn left to enter the terminal and get to your boarding gate.
Thank you very much for the informative video. I'm flying to Madrid from Morocco on rayanair and slef-transfering to Düsseldorf on iberia. Could please tell me how I'm supposed to do that? The second flight is leaving from Terminal4.
Hi Zoubida. You will arrive at T2. Go to the departures level, exit the terminal and look for the free shuttle bus (green and blue color) that will take you to T4. We advice you to allow at least 2 and a half hours to complete the connection without hassle. All the best!

Hi, on our video about flight connections at Madrid airport here ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html we advise a minimum of two hours for a stress-free connection. The airport is operating well beyond its operational capacity and delays are common.
Hello we are going from Portugal to Madrid (terminal 4) and them to LAX (Terminal 4s) (we have 1h30 of layover) any tip that you can provide so we can speed up from terminar 4 to terminal 4s? also the passport check it's done on 4s? is there a way that we can "skip" the line? how busy it is?
That is a very tight layover (passengers flying to the US are requested to allow for extra time due to additional security checks). Very specific advice: get a seat at the front of the aircraft so you speed up your exit from the plane. Passport check is at T4S.
hi very helpful info for those newcomer to come at madrid like me, just a question what can you advice for me to take to go to Lisbon from Madrid since I will arrive at 830 pm . Is there a overnight train or bus which go straight in Lisbon?

Sorry but I can't find that information in the video and I rewatched it many times, can you drop it here please? I'd really appreciate it❤@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

If we decided to take a BUS or a TAXI ?
Thank you in advance.

I will add that I am an EU citizen
Hi Michael, welcome to the channel! All running well, you should have enough time. The problem is that COVID-check queues are a new uncertainty, we don't really understand how they form and how long they can take. When we do a plane>bus connection at Madrid airport we always leave a buffer of at least two hours, as our tolerance to risk is truly low. All the best!
How long does it take to get from Terminal 4s to Terminal 4 I have one hour and forty five minutes (1:45) from the moment I land in Terminal 4s until I board the flight in Terminal 4 without luggage! Will I make it? Thank you very much for the video and information
I have a connection, the luggage continues to the next flight from Iberia to Iberia Express
I don't have a Self-transfer It's a connecting flight
The train takes 10 minutes, the problem is the queue at immigration. The minimum time we recommend is two hours, amount of time we would definitely increase during this summer season where airport delays in Europe seem to be the norm.
Thank you so much for this video! This has been super helpful for my upcoming trip 😊Question: I have an outbound flight leaving Barajas T4 at 12:30p but will be arriving at the Airport around 10:25a - is 2hrs before my flight departure enough time to get through customs, baggage check, etc.?
Hi Jennifer, you don't mention where your flight is going to. During the high season airlines are urging passengers to arrive to the airport 3 hours in advance.
Oh! Whoops - my trip is in late September and my flight is going back home to DFW.
So would late September be considered high season?
@@jenniferstone2254 many tourists around in September. Passengers flying to the US are requested to arrive even earlier due to additional security checks.
Hi, great video! I am flying from the US (JFK) to MAD (arriving T4S). I have 1hr 30minutes to make a layover for a flight to GRX (T4). Do you think that this would be enough time? Both flights are the same airline (Iberia), booked on the same ticket.
What about for the return trip? GRX to MAD (T4 arrival), transfer to T4S for a flight to JFK?
Hi Victoria. In COVID times, with COVID checks involved, we would be cautious an allow for two hours for a T4S>T4 connection. In the case of T4>T4S, the time needed is shorter as there is no immigration control or COVID checks. All the best!
If you're arriving at Madrid-Barajas Airport in Terminal 4 (T4) and have a connecting flight departing from Terminal 4S (T4S), you can use the Automatic People Mover (APM) to travel between the two terminals.
- This is an underground automated train that connects T4 and T4S.
- Both stations are located on Level -2 of their respective terminals.
- Follow the signage to the APM to ensure a smooth transfer. Keep in mind that the train departs every 5 minutes, making it an efficient option even for short connection times.
Great video! I’m traveling to Spain from the US but have a layover in Madrid and then traveling on to Jerez. My flight leaves from T4 to Jerez. Will I need to pick up my luggage and recheck it and then go through security again? I have a 5.5 hour layover so I should have plenty of time either way. I booked my flight directly with Iberia.
Thank you. You have plenty of time for an stress-free connection. If you are flying both legs with the same airline, your luggage will theoretically should go through to Jerez, but double-check at the check-in counter.
Thanks for the video, I'll have to travel from Italy to USA and have a stop in Madrid (The same when i'll come back), I'll arrive to terminal T4 and i'll need to go to the T4S, i'll have 2.10h to do all.. do you think it's ok thinking about the security check too? The controll will be made in both terminal?
Andrea, you don't mention whether you are flying with the same airline. If you don't have to take care of your luggage during the connection, you should have enough time. You will only go through immigration when you arrive from the States.
Para hacer conexión en T4 a Lisboa, Portugal que tiempo toma? Hay que pasar aduana?

My son is 15 years old and he is going by himself for first time to Spain.He is very anxious and we want to know wich terminal he will arrive and also wich terminal he needs to go .He is flying Iberia from Miami - Madrid- Granada.Thank you!
We've already replied to a similar question you left at another video. There is no need to duplicate questions, we make an effort to reply to every single one.
My flight came from Dusseldorf to Madrid (IB3137) and they docked at T4S on 06/30/2022. I had a short connection time about 65 minutes in order to fly from T4 H4 to A Coruña. At 4:22 I turned right to a new handpackage control in order to get the H4.
It's not common but not unusual for a Schengen flight to dock at T4S, that's why we always stress the importance of double-checking the details on the boarding card. You're right, after leaving the final escalator, turn right for the connections area.
I have a question regarding immigration at Madrid airport!!
I will flight with my family this upcoming August from BOS to LIS via Madrid with only one hour to transfer from TS4 to Ts I have dual citizenship so I can use the electronic passport check but my family only have USA passports my question is ….is there a fast way to check immigration with a party of 9 and make it to the connection flight in one hour!!! Any advice will be appreciated!!
Louis, as far as we know, there is only a express line for those passengers flying business. It is the passenger’s responsibility to ensure enough time for a succesful connection. 1 hour is an extremely risky business, even more so at a time when queues at Madrid airport can be incrdibly slow. Our advice would be, change the second flight if possible.
Thank you!! Gracias…Obrigado!
Thank you!!!
You welcome!
My parents (Spaniards) will be traveling with Iberia from Barcelona to Los Angeles, with a layover in Madrid. And, a month later, they´ll travel in the opposite direction to return home. The layover for the outbound flight is 1h 20min, arriving at T4 and departing to Los Angeles from T4S. For the return layover, they will arrive at 4S and take their connecting flight to Barcelona from T4. There are 2 layover options: 2 hours or 3.5 hours. I wonder if 2 hours would be enough in this case. Please, let me know if the layover times sound reasonable both ways and if you would recommend the longer layover time for their return flight. Thanks!
Hola Susana. We would never purchase a connection of 1h 20min at Barajas, as it involves a certain degree of risk - but that's us. The good side to that specific connection T4>T4S is that there is no immigration control on arrival, so things tend to be faster. As for the way back, if there are no delays, 2 hours should be enough, but we haven't gone through Barajas in pandemic times and don't know what impact the COVID controls have on the required time to complete the connection.
P.S.: we have a channel in Spanish with a similar vídeo that your parents might appreciate: ruclips.net/video/OjmEG1efVpI/видео.html
Thanks for very informative video. I have question. I am flying from Vienna to Madrid T4 (Iberia) and then I have to move to T4S for my flight to Havana (Iberia). I will go through security check in Vienna. But should I go thourgh any security check also on T4 or T4S? I hope there is only passport control, but not the security control. Thank you very much!
Hi Marka, we've never done a T4>T4S connection at Madrid airport, but these days security checks are quite common everywhere. Arriving from Vienna you won't go through any immigration control, but we can't tell for sure whether there will be a security check.
Hi dear
My question is how to go from terminal t4s to terminal 2
Thanks
Hello, explained on this video ruclips.net/video/a0_-PL3nLes/видео.html
Im travelling to madrid in nov, using the metro from T4 to callao. I was going to buy a 3 day tourist ticket do i need to add on the airport fee ive heard about or does the tourist ticket cover that anyway. Thanks in advance. Great videos by the way
Hi, the Tourist Ticket includes the airport supplement. You can see all the details about the pass on this video: ruclips.net/video/HJHUDy7pb_A/видео.html Be aware that the pass now is only valid for calendar days and not for 24 hour periods.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for your reply. Can I ask what you mean by natural days?
@@jandrews9040 my mistake (I've corrected it). I should have written "calendar days".
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal ah I get it. Thank you so much for reply. And keep up the great videos
