Iberia lounges at MAD Madrid-Barajas (T4/T4S)

Departure lounges
Iberia Premium Lounge Dalí
Located in T4 immediately after security at Level 2, if departing or connecting to Schengen, IB operated London bound flights (A330/A350 excluded) or domestic flights: it is a decent lounge with free food, drinks and showers. Open 06:00 to 23:00.
Related discussion: Iberia Dali Madrid lounge experience
Iberia Premium Lounge Velázquez
Open daily 06:00 to 01:00
Located in T4S (Zone "S") at Level 1 at the edge of the duty free store. Open 24 hours, for departures to non-Schengen and long haul flights; self-serve food, drinks, wine bar (Rincón del vino), restaurant w/ limited hours, targeted to departing intercontinental overnight Iberia flyers.
Lunch buffet 14:00 – 16:30, Dinner 21:00 onwards, Bistro 21:00 - 00:30
When you exit the lounge and make your way to your departure gate, veer left through the duty free store. You can use Starbucks as a visual cue. If you veer right, you will end up in a cul-de-sac.
Arrivals lounge
Sala de Llegadas
Located in the main T4 arrivals hall at level -1. The lounge is equipped with showers and a breakfast room.
This is not a oneworld lounge. Access is provided free of charge to business class passengers who have arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more that 4 hours. Iberia Plus Platinum, Gold, and Singular members may also use the lounge provided they have also arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more than 4 hours. Paid entrance is also available
Lounge hopping
Terminal 4 and 4S are joined by a subterranean train; it is unlikely to lounge hop as the gatekeepers are rather strict about using the appropriate lounge.

I'm booked on PHL-MAD (US) connecting to MAD-BCN (IB) in J using AA miles. Just want to confirm that I will have access to the Dali lounge in terminal 4 as I'm not sure if the lounge is accessible to those flying in domestic business and on partner FF miles.

Yes , you will have access to the VIP lounge offered in T4 flying J, different from the USA where customers rely on courtesy upgrades, european airlines hardly upgrade frequent flyers hence there is not overcrowding on the lounges. Enjoy your trip with IB, the only good thing is the spanish red wine (rioja) they have are pretty good...

Iberia lounge / lounges at MAD /Madrid (T4 / T4S)
Does anyone have experience with the arrivals lounge? It sounds like it might be for IB metal customers only.... But just in case here at JFK I had the AAngels at the club print me a paper boarding pass. Hoping a combination of oneworld emerald, a J boarding pass, an attempt to speak Spanish and a winning smile may get me in...

Although the dragon was very friendly and helpful, and even called to check with a colleague, he was unable to let me in on an AA flight.
The arrivals lounge at MAD T4 level -1 is for business class customers on Iberia metal only

Thanks for the data point. Is the arrivals lounge landside?

Yes it is. It is on level -1. Follow the signs for the Metro / Renfe. As you approach the Metro ticket kiosks, at the bottom of the escalator ramp thing, turn around 180 degrees and you will see it there.

Is that for transatlantic arrivals only? If my flight is MXP to MAD (stopover), will I be able to use the Arrivals lounge?

Hello 
BRU-MAD in economy on IB, BA silver/OW sapphire. It is possible to have lounge access, with also a guest?
MAD-FUE in economy on Iberia Express (IB prefix). Same question.
Thank you

Trying to sort out lounge access at MAD. Flying in J, arriving on AA68 MIA/MIA which should put me in 4S around gate R07. Have a 3 hour layover and leaving MAD/FCO on IB in J. I think that will be terminal 4 (was gate J52 yesterday). Plt / Sapphire status.
From what I read I will not have access to the arrivals lounge, and don't want to as it's outside security.
I believe that I will be able to access the Dalí lounge once I reach T4 (connect by underground train) and that I can get a shower there.
Can someone confirm this is correct

Because of the French ATC strikes, my morning flight from Madrid today got cancelled, and I was moved onto a new afternoon flight that left from gate M in T4S. It looks like the Goya lounge has been closed since January 12th, and you now have to use the Dalí lounge in the main terminal if leaving from gate M.
I don't know how easy it is to move back to the main terminal. The new flight was again delayed by 90 minutes when I was already at the M gate, and I asked the agent at the gate if I could go back to the main terminal, she said I could try if I really wanted to, but she recommended that I stay put in case the delay was reduced (which it was shortly afterwards).
