Travelling through Madrid Airport

Hi Graham,

As she is travelling Iberia all the way she should be able to check her bags right through and not collect them until she arrives in Barcelona. This should be the same for her boarding card.

Hello Linda

Thanks for the swift and helpful reply.
Would you happen to know if my girlfriend will be given a boarding card at Moscow for the onward flight Madrid to Barcelona?

Thanks
Graham


Hi Graham,

The transfer should be easy for your girlfriend as although there is no special boarding gate for Barcelona flights, she is arriving and makes her transfer in satellite terminal 4S which is virtually all Iberia flights and she will find the boarding gate number of her flight clearly displayed on the TV monitors and departures board in that terminal. If she is at all worried about which way to go when she disembarks from the aircraft arriving from Russia then one of the cabin crew (who presumably speak Russian) will be able to direct her to the connecting flight area. Madrid is a large international airport and as long as she knows her flight number and has a piece of paper with it written on she will find someone to help her.

Hello Gary

I saw you very helpful replies to fliers and hope that you can help.

My girlfriend who is Russian is flying from Moscow to Barcelona via Madrid. She is very nervous because she speaks virtually no English and is worried about changing flights, something she has never done before, or in fact been out of Russia.
She is on IB 3811 and then changes to IB 6992 The flights appear to arrive and depart at terminal 4S.
What signs should she look for? Is there a standard boarding gate number for Barcelona flights?
Any help you can give to make her connection simple would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanec
Graham
