If your connection involves a move between the T1/2/3 complex and Terminal 4, you must take the free landside shuttle bus (green), which operates 24/7 every 5 to 20 minutes; allow at least 15 to 20 minutes for the bus journey alone. Ground transportation to the Madrid city center is very efficient via Metro Line 8, which has stations at both terminal complexes. Helpful amenities include free unlimited Wi-Fi, numerous high-end duty-free shops, and executive lounges in every terminal.\n\nTerminals 1, 2, and 3 are physically connected and walkable, taking about 10 to 15 minutes to navigate between them. For international-to-international transfers within the same alliance (e. g., Oneworld in T4), follow signs for 'Terminal T4S' and take the underground automated people mover (APM), a three-minute driverless train. \n\nFor international arrivals from non-Schengen countries connecting to a domestic Spanish or European flight, you must clear immigration (passport control) in Madrid. For direct access to the Atocha or Chamart\u00edn train stations, use the Cercan\u00edas C1 or C10 rail lines, though note that these only serve Terminal 4. Arriving at the airport three hours before international departures is standard due to rigorous security screenings and the large scale of the facility.\n\nHowever, Terminal 4 and its satellite T4S are located several kilometers away. A minimum connection time of at least two and a half hours is strongly recommended for inter-terminal transfers, and three hours if you are self-transferring on separate tickets and need to collect baggage. Taxis offer a fixed rate of \u20ac33 to central Madrid within the M-30 ring road.", "country": "Spain", "flag_url": "https://flagcdn.com/w320/es.png", "flight_search_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=EUR", "frequent_traveler_tip": [ "Terminal transfers require re-security screening - allow extra time.", "The Iberia lounge has excellent Spanish food available.", "Check your flight status before leaving for the airport.", "Allow extra time during peak travel periods at this airport.", "Keep important documents easily accessible at this airport." ], "global_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=Madrid+Barajas+Airport", "google_maps_reviews": { "rating": 0.0, "recent_reviews": [], "total_reviews": 0 }, "hotel_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=EUR", "iataCode": "MAD", "icao": "LEMD", "international": true, "last_modified": "June 2026", "last_updated": "2026-03-29", "latitude": 40.4983, "layover_planner_info": "MAD offers excellent shopping, dining, and cultural experiences.", "longitude": -3.5676, "mct_domestic_to_domestic": 45, "mct_domestic_to_international": 90, "mct_interline": 120, "mct_international_to_domestic": 90, "mct_international_to_international": 90, "missed_connection_help": "Contact Iberia (primary carrier) or your specific airline.", "name": "Madrid Barajas Airport", "region": "Europe", "related_airports": [ { "code": "BCN", "name": "Barcelona El Prat Airport" }, { "code": "ZAZ", "name": "Zaragoza Airport" }, { "code": "CQM", "name": "Ciudad Real International Airport" }, { "code": "EAS", "name": "San Sebasti\u00e1n Airport" }, { "code": "ECV", "name": "Cuatro Vientos Airport" }, { "code": "SLM", "name": "Salamanca Airport" } ], "terminal_info": "Adolfo Su\u00e1rez Madrid\u2013Barajas Airport (MAD) is the main international airport serving Madrid, Spain.
