Flying on an AA award ticket (on AA) to MAD (from JFK) and will connect to IB for a flight to BCN. Is 2 1/2 hours sufficient time to make a connection? We land at 8:30 am and there is an 11:00 flight. It seems like a reasonable amount of time (according to the MAD airport map they are in the same terminal). But, I assume we have to clear customs and was wondering about others' experiences before booking that flight.

Thanks for any insight!
