Arrival Lounge in MAD from UA
Hi. My wife, 2 kids (aged 10 & 14), and I are arriving early Saturday on UA at MAD. I am 1K but we are flying coach on revenue tkts. UA says they have no club there.
I will be meeting a friend who arrives 3-4 hours after us. Is there a lounge where we can relax after the overnight flight? It would presumably need to be after immigration & customs.
I have Amex Plat also, so am member of their Priority Pass which lists clubs there. Not sure if that would work post-arrivals, plus they charge for the kids.
Also, does MAD have a priority passport line (similar to in LHR) for arrivals, and if so how/when do I get the passes?
Thanks,
Neil

No arrivals lounge in T1. I don't know if you can pay for the IB arrivals lounge in T4 but that might be your best shot. There is a café just past going landside at T1, but options are spartan. There is a bit more if you go upstairs to check in over by the Ryanair desks but all standard airport café type stuff.
I have no idea if there is a priority line, but I have never taken more than 2-3 minutes to get through on any flight (I'm non-EU).

Thanks for the quick response. I guess it will be coffee & hot chocolate for the caffeine boost. Glad to hear arrivals is pretty quick, though I guess we do have some time to waste.
I'll report back if I discover anything different.
