In MAD there are two Aena lounges/contract lounges that LH SENs can use. I assume this is also valid for *G on LH operated flights, not sure about other metal. One is at the C gates, the other at the E gates, both have a very poor selection of snacks and some basic drinks, but are quite spacious and quiet. No free wireless.

Do any of them have showers? I will be arriving from JFK on IB (Y unfortunately) and connecting in MAD with TK in J to IST. I assume that TK uses these lounges for their J pax as well.

There is a lounge in T2 for *G in May 2012
I was just there yesterday! I searched on this forum and did not find very precise information for post-Spanair-closure.
The good news is there is a very nice lounge just upstairs from D60, something like "Lounge Alcalá." It has pretty good sandwiches and snacks, drinks, coffee, good service, and they did not even bat an eye when I showed them my UA card for my economy class ticket.
No free Wifi, though. I did not notice whether there was a shower.

The Alcalá lounge is the old JK lounge. Almost nothing changed, only better snacks. As in old JK lounge, there is free internet but you have to use the PCs they have or ask for a cable - there's no free wifi and there is no shower.

I was through there recently (T2). Aside from the no wifi, the lounge is quite spacious with great natural light.
If you look closely at the star alliance cosmetic at the check in desk, you can see black tape over where the Span Air logo likely once was.

Madrid Lounges T123
Lounge updates:
* All*A G flying on *carriers on the same day can use the former JK lounge located in front of Relay Newspaper shop near gate D 60. It is pretty much the same as in old days, so OK for a quick snack.
This is only departure lounge.
* If you arrive on US, UA or other Star members directly from non-Schengen countries, you are not able to use any lounges if you are not connecting, at that case you should use the lounge D60.
* If you depart from T1, once through the customs, you can only use the airport AENA lounges at gates A,B.

Hi again
Flying out of Barajas in a couple of days, and I was wondering how the lounge situation was.
I did a search on staralliance.com, and with my *G status it seems I have access to FOUR lounges:
Puerta de Alcalá in T2 (opposite gate D60)
AENA Cibeles Lounge in T1 (near gate B26)
Lounge Velasquez in 'Intl Terminal'
AENA Puerta del Sol Lounge between T2 and T3 (1st floor, boarding area, near E69)
So - which of the lounges will I have access to, flying intra-schengen -- and which one is the best?
Google searches yield little in terms of photos or TRs.
Thanks!

Ok, I emailed Barajas directly, and I concur with my own investigations from Lufthansa's and SAS' websites: Puerta del Sol and Puerta de Alcalá are the two STar Gold lounges at Barajas.
Buenos días,
Volando con la Compañía SAS y siendo miembro de las tarjetas GOLD Star Alliance, puede utilizar Sala Puerta de Alcalá T2 o Sala Puerta del Sol T3.

There's one hour of free wifi available and PCs with "unlimited" internet available. I'll report on how the free hour works quite soon (i.e. MAC address blocked, voucher codes with expiration, email, etc.)

I was in the *A lounge in T2 back in August. The lounge is really dated with not many amenities. In general, other than the new T4 MAD looks like an airport in a third-world country rather than a major European capital.
