From what I have read I understand my transfer will involve:
1. Arriving at the E gates
2. Pass through security
3. Take the train to A gates area
4. Go through passport control
5. Board my MAD flight from A, B or D gates

Did I get that right?

Now here's the real crux: I gather that as an arriving F pax I am entitled to use the F lounge. Assuming that time is available (I really just want to nosey around) where in my schedule does that fit in? Will it be a long detour or more or less on my way? And if I actually get into that hallowed sanctum will I be entitled to be ferried by car to my MAD flight?

Many thanks!
All correct except your flight to MAD will depart from an A or B gate. If you want to visit the FCL it will be between 4 and 5. They'll only drive you to the MAD flight if it departs from a remote apron position.
