Must have just missed MapleLeaf and kt74 over the same weekend, also going LHR-MAD with BD. I found the Spanair lounge perfectly acceptable in terms of catering and the staff were helpful. Unfortunately I didn't get to fly the dreaded MD80s because although I had booked to travel onwards to BCN I couldn't get decent enough accomodation in the city (was treating the other half to a weekend away so it had to be special) and so we just stayed in MAD. On the day of travel, Spanair allowed me to cancel the MAD-BCN sectors on the ticket without penalty and even refunded the difference in the fare - very impressive given it was an embarrassingly cheap W class ticket.
