Thanks. Yeah, we walk fast or run as necessary. It's interesting that IB lists the minimal connection time as 55 minutes for IB to IB flights, T4S -> T4. So they seem to think it's doable

We're currently booked in the exit row, but I think I will move us forward. Maybe Avios upgrade to Business.

If an actual delay causes a misconnect, I assume that the airline would be responsible for an accommodation and rebooking he next day. Not sure if it would be IB (operating carrier) or BA (marketing carrier).

We have not been to MAD in a while, Can someone outline the steps to go through from plane in T4S through passport/security/train into T4 and ready to board? Having the details in mind will help. Thanks!

Cheers.
