All right. Wife is going to have to learn how to pack for a 9 day trip with just a carry on and a backpack. I can give up all of my backpack space for her stuff as well LOL. Might need to hit up a laundry or have the hotel do my laundry mid vacation which I don't mind. Save ourselves 30 min

Madrid and Basque region. I'm into wine but I don't need to bring any back.
I mean I do want to bring a leg of jamon iberico back but then I’d lose my global entry if one of the pesky dogs at customs get a whiff of it. Lol

I do love me some interesting wines. I love natural wines so that Comando G stuff sounds right up my alley. And it says it's close to pinot noir which is my daily wine lol.
Jet 1A I might be nose blind to it because I huff aviation fuel every now and then

Suggestion on onward flight on separate PNR
Hi folks! I am in need of some advice. on 21-Oct I will be landing in MAD from MEX at 13:40 on IB6402 in J. I will need to make my way to EDI the same day on a separate ticket. I will have checked in baggage (hopefully with some Tequila from Mexico).
I have the following options:
I have the following options:
- Direct easyJet at 16:35 (presumably from T1)
- IB3166 to LHR at 15:45, with onward flight from LHR arriving at EDI at 20:15
- IB3180 to LHR at 16:50, with onward flight from LHR arriving at 21:25--however this is EUR160 more expensive than option 2.

I wouldn't be comfortable with option 2 at all, even if you get a favourable tailwind from MEX (looks like in the last week, this flight has landed between 13:10 and 14:02). If your bags take an hour to come out (albeit in J they really shouldn't) you'll be struggling to make check in for the LHR flight especially with a delay.
Easyjet are in T1, which when leaving from T4 on the inter-terminal shuttle is the last stop, so not ideal, but assuming your flight arrives more or less on time and baggage isn't a faff, I don't think this will be a problem.
It's unfortunate you have to be in EDI the same day, because there's a cheap Iberia Express direct the following morning at 08:15.

Not a huge traveller in Europe, so my question might be basic.
AMS MAD connecting to SVQ. All one ticket in J.

- Do we get lounge access in MAD, and if so, which lounge
- How easy is the transfer between the two flights? We have 65min

You may or may not have time to go to the Dali lounge at T4.

If you're not on Iberia for all flights then all this changes

Of course you're right but you and I both know the hell that someone would go through if they arrived on one airline and had a fast connection to another one at Madrid, especially if they didn't have a Schengen passport. T4 to T4 or T4S to T4S is a piece of cake, but the thought of anything else fills me with dread!

Thank you so much. All flights are IB (Iberia Express). I feel more relieved now.

T4->T4S 55min
Doing CPH-MAD-BOG later this month; One IB ticket. 55min at MAD. EU passport
It seems that often CPH-MAD arrives 10-15 min late. Will IB proactively off-load me from the BOG flight if incoming flight is late, or I will be able to give it a try to reach the T4S gate in time? It makes a difference whether I have checked luggage? (I mean I will get proactively offloaded from the BOG flight if I have checked luggage tagged CPH-MAD-BOG, but if I travel HBO I will have the chance to make it to the T4S gate before it closes?
