MAD Terminal 4 and Oneworld Lounge - Photos
 

I was at Madrid's new Terminal 4 last week and enjoyed the nicely furnished Iberia-Oneworld lounge. The lounge offers many of the amenities that meet the expectation of a business traveler.

Thanks for the great photos ^ and I added you as a contact on Flickr :D

Yes MAD T4 and TS are incredibly beautiful buildings.:-::-::-::-::-: Talk to the airport staff they absolutely beam with pride.
Much better than BKK and the other MAD terminals.....
Thanks for the photos I did not get a chance to visit the lounge.

The lounges are one of the reasons MAD is now my Euro hub of choice. (Which considering the other choice is at the end of the Piccadilly line is like - duh.)

"The perfect crime"
 

I hesitate to put this here, in the middle of such good news about MAD, but don't want to create a new thread just for it, and a look at the other side of the coin is probably not so bad after all.

Careful with your baggage ex MAD. It appears there is a growing number of reports about stolen property and, what is even worse, stuff being put into the bags. Apparently some handlers are breaking into the bags during the loading of the bags into the hold, where there are no cameras, and the preferred targets, so the article claims, are the business class bags, because they are loaded first and this gives the thieves more time to go through them. Unfortunately I don't have a link in English, but if you want to try your Español, read this.

Ahh that explains why it took 45 minutes for any bags to come out from a domestic trip GRX to MAD....
