    Amazingly beautiful terminal designed by the Master of Architecture Sir Richard Rogers, with plenty of amenities,boutiques and cafés.Luggage pickup can be a long wait.

    Super modern and clean!! Quite a few good options in terms of shopping and food! Exclusively used by Iberia, BA and Vueling, as well as other One World airlines

    The cheapest and fastest way to downtown is the train. Every 30 min. better than the metro.

    The immigration staffs are friendly. They tried their best to speak in English despite of their accent and pronounciation are difficult to understand.

    One of the most impressive terminals in Europe. Spain proves again that is one of the best in infrastructures.

    Great airy design feels similar to Hong Kong international airport - Loewe products are cheaper than in town

    Like a lighthouse in the desert: brilliant but useless. Disorganised, with long distances to walk. As the staff say: we know it doesn't work well, but isn't it beautiful?

    If you get the underground, it cost about 12€ for 4 people, and you spend about 50 minutes arrives to Madrid centre. Taxi is different, it cost about 30€ and you spend 15 minutes approximately.

    Take the RENFE trains to the airport there's no supplement to pay. Only costs 2,45 from Nuevos Ministerios and faster than Metro

    Get the regional train (Cercanias) or bus 200 to get to the city center faster and cheaper than by Metro or Shuttle bus

    Now the undergroud is a bit expensive, 4'5€ to reach the city center. Time about 30 min. Taxi around 30€ and 20 mins.

    Did you know that there's a direct flight from Madrid to Pisa in Tuscany?How about a vacation surrounded by the peaceful Tuscan hills and a glass of Chianti in your hand?

    Small terminal with flights that are easy to get to. Could use a lot more food options. Be prepared to spend money to eat.

    Vueling and Iberia are just placed at the beginning of the t4 departures. If you arrived to the airport before 6am only the central outdoors are opened

    The most confusing terminal ever! Take the bus out front that leaves every 15 mins. Its the cheapest (2e) and fastest way downtown (30-40 mins).

    If arriving from another EU country and have a connection, you don't have to leave the secure area to get a boarding pass for your next flight. You can get Iberia boarding passes printed near gate H24

    Several duty free options in the terminal. Pick up some Spanish wines and save $ versus prices in the US.

    Use another airline if possible. Iberia and the T4 are the biggest disorganised brothel in Earth

    Allow some time if checking in with Iberia. Sadly, they group many flights in 19 check-in counters and only open two of them. Up to 2h queue often. Avoid checking-in here, print at home…

    For going to Madrid down town, don't get a taxi, get the underground (cheap and fast)

    Secuity is a more than bit chaotic - so allow a little extra time. Otherwise, very smooth.

    Clean terminal but not so functional. Restrooms suck: no paper to clean your hands, only bacteria-full dryer; just 1 or 2 toilets for you to poop, so expect a loooong line.

    If you need to make a connecting flight, don't like walking LONG distances or waiting 2 hours for baggage, need to sit down and/or use electrical outlets, and prefer clean bathrooms, DON'T FLY HERE.
