I have a Christmas trip to RAK booked.
1. The outbound from MAD is on a CRJ-1000 (never heard of one) which has exit row seating in the cabin. Does this offer any extra legroom.
2. Are the Air Nostrum planes boarded from the front door, both doors or just the rear?
3. Anyone know what lounge is used at RAK. I assume it is the same crappy contract lounge that BA utilise?
Ta!

SFO777 put together an illustrated and aptly concise report of the lounge, here....

Does it look familiar?
Air Nostrum has nothing to do with Vueling in terms of service and aeroplanes. Vueling is a LCC owned partly by Iberia and Air Nostrum is a Regional Carrier for Iberia (franchised as per Wikipedia).
The service in Air Nostrum is one of the best I have enjoyed within european carriers for shorthaul. They use CRJ-1000 and CRJ-200 in a 2-2 configuration which in my opinion ys quite confortable with better seat picth than iberia or vueling in their A3--s. If you get the emergency exit, you will have better legroom.
In all my fights, I got to the airplane from the front.
I am sure you will enjoy the flight

1. Seating pretty much identical to BA Cityflier
2. No rear door, normally bussed to the tarmac at Barajas
