Flight transfers at Madrid Airport

Hi Mel,

It depends on who you are travelling with as to whether your luggage can be checked right through. If you are travelling with the same airline operator for both flights then there should not be a problem.

If for any reason you do not make your connecting flight on the 24th then the airline is obliged to put you on their next available one. I see that that the 12.20 flight is operated by Iberia (which is the only one they handle on the 24th) and the only flight after that is an Easyjet one at 16.50, so your only option will be to try and get on that one.

Your return journey leaves you and your luggage enough time to transfer flights as long as there is no delay leaving Fuerteventura.

Hi Gary, on Monday 24th December we are travelling from Heathrow to Madrid leaving London 06.20am arriving Madrid Terminal 4 @ 09.40am (if on time!) we are then booked on the flight to Fuerteventura @ 12.20pm also from Terminal 4 obviously we have plenty of time if timings are kept, 2 questions (1) is our luggage transferred from one plane to the other? (2) what if the plane from Heatrhrow is late departing and we miss the Fuerteventura flight what are our options?

We are to do the reverse on the way back on 30th December but with only a 1hr 40mins time gap @Madrid to make the Heathrow connection. Your help & advice would be most appreciated.

This is the first time we have booked flights only, so just a bit concerned!!

Many thanks
Mel
