Iberia baggage claim at Madrid
My domestic Iberia flight from asturias is scheduled to arrive Madrid at 9:35am on Friday August 27. How many minutes later should I expect to pick up my checked luggage? Don't know if flight arrives at T4 or T4S.

Expect and average of 30-40 minutes after arrival time, note that from arriving gates to baggage claim could be 5-15 minutes, so "real" waiting time beside the carrousel use to be around 20 min.

As a data point, I flew FCO-MAD last Saturday and baggage claim took 50 minutes. Flew business class so was off the plane and at baggage claim very quickly. Half of the baggage came on one carousel, many passengers did not see their bags and then luggage from a different flight began on the same carousel. Much confusion.
My bags were tagged with a priority tag in FCO
I thought the bags were not loaded at FCO but when I went to baggage assistance, (after many keystrokes from the agent), they mentioned that they were in MAD, just on carousel 6 not 13 (which the monitor said). I was more glad that the bags made it at all, so I didn't cause a scene
