Flights from Madrid to the United States: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Madrid to the United States

Not specific to this flight or Iberia specifically, but general advice for any long-haul flight: Bring headphones (ideally noise-cancelling) that have a wired connection and a 2.5mm jack if you want to use the in-flight entertainment system so you don't have to rely on the cheap, hot-garbage headsets airlines give out for free. Plus noise-cancelling headphones are a blessing if you have the misfortune of being seated near a screaming baby!

Do not transit Madrid. Maybe it is fine as a aa final or starting point for non-stop flights but it is a nightmare for making connecting legs of a flight. Literally people were held up in multiple immigration lines and missed connections. 2 people had to get off our plane after boarding because other members of their party could not make it through all the transit lines in time. Why are people just transiting made to wait in a 3rd passport control line to leave Spain while only transiting??? Connection times need to take that into account.

DO NOT SIT IN A SEAT IN FRONT OF AN EXIT ROW.

Its a long flight. Be prepared for a long walk if connecting in Madrid.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Europa-Feb 2026
For long-haul flights, I would suggest providing complimentary earphones instead of charging for them, as well as offering basic amenities such as an eye mask. The meal service could be improved by using proper dishware rather than cardboard packaging and plastic cutlery. If chicken or meat is served, it would be more convenient if it is pre-cut, considering the limited seat space which makes it difficult to cut food comfortably. In addition, the cabin crew should routinely check the restrooms to ensure cleanliness and that toilet paper is always available.

Arrive early to the airport, it takes a long time to check in and reach the boarding gates
WilliamFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024
Madrid’s airport is incredibly windy and cumbersome to navigate. Make sure you have PLENTY of time to get to your gate. Unlike other airports they also don’t announce gate changes, you have to pay attention to the departure screens constantly.
LisaFlew with Iberia-Jun 2024
Make sure if you have a connecting flight that you have at at least 3 to 4 hours in between.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2024
Terminal 4 in Madrid is not well signed to tell where passengers need to go after each step. Planes are far from the Terminal. Baggage check in is slow.

Airline reviews

Flight was late, and not sure why. The business class lounge in Porto is not proprietary to TAP, and is really substandard, almost as bad as "The Lounge" in Boston. It was a D, which is better than the F experience in Bostonm where we left "The Lounge" for a better experience in the terminal. It had better food (an extremely low bar), ok beverages, and wasn't as crowded as the Boston one, but no restrooms. To use one, you had to leave and go downstairs. There's no down escalator, and the elevator might be able to crowd 4 people. Otherwise, you're carying your bags down the stairs. I hope the Lisbon club is better, but for TAP to provide this in the 2nd largest city in the home country is disappointing. They put out an announcement to proceed immediately to the gate, but there was no plane and few seats. from the lounge, 8 people with bags waited in line for the single tiny elevator. After almost an hour of standing, we finally boarded. TAP, at least on this plane, doesn't offer a welcome drink to business class passengers. Having said that, the crew was very friendly and accomodating. We landed about an hour late and then were told we were going to be on the runway for at least a half hour because no gate was available. So, bottom line, D- for pre boarding, A for flight attendents, B + for business class food, and Incomplete for post landing.

Special meal AVML was terrible Move selections were mediocre No Wi-Fi offered

We were delayed and they didn’t tell us why. There was no AC while we were on board waiting and it was very hot. We were in the last row and there was no window. We had a connecting international flight at JFK in a different terminal and the flight crew did not request passengers to let connecting flights off first and we almost missed our flight.

Flight was delayed more than 1.5 hours. Essentially no communication with passengers regarding how long the delay would last or any updates as to the delay.

Clearer signage at Lisbon Airport and more communication about delays

Flight smooth and on-time. Food a joke, crew humorless but efficient. Really a budget airline masquerading as a flagship, but it gets you there.

Delayed departure Madrid to Lisboa and my luggage no arrived

TAP boarding gate agents singled out Group A line to gate check all carry on bags …. Supposedly because of lack on bin space. BUT ALL OTHERS WERE PERMITTED WITH CARRY ON BAGS. Additionally so many passengers entering the plane after us were permitted carry on bags. And when the plane was fully loaded, there was a number of open spaces in the overhead bins. I WILL SEARCH OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE FLYING TAP AGAIN

The flight from MAD to LIS was absolutely horrible since they didn't allow me to board the flight I had paid for. It turns out TAP has a rule hidden deep in their terms of services that if I miss any of the flights in my multi-city plan they will automatically cancel all the remaining flights. I don't know if this is unique to TAP or common practice, but it seems quite ridiculous that I pay for a flight plan and due to unforeseen circumstances miss one leg of that plan that all remaining plan flights be terminated.

Great airline, new, comfortable and quiet planes. Plenty of leg room and state of the art entertainment system. The big downside is the connection in Lisbon. The airport is small and a bus is needed from the plane to the terminal. Is a mess, takes a lot of time, nobody gives an explanation, boarding zones are not honored, etc.

boarding sucked they lost my bag never flying Iberia again

Overall good, but it would be better more movies and tv shows options

I had the best flight crew I have ever experienced in all my years flying with AA. I would specially like to thank Till Tatum/96038 for her kindness professionalism and outstanding service! My son turned 8 years old one day before our flight and she went out of her way to make him feel so special. We will never forget this flight! The whole crew made a special card for Frankie’s bday and it really touched our hearts. He will never forget it and neither will we! Thank you with all our hearts! We hope to be on more flights with Till Tatum and this amazing crew.

The middles seats on the 777 airplane are very small. I am only five feet tall and my knees were touching the seat in front of me and the is no leg room if you have a person item under the seat. The food was horrible, spicy sauces, tasteless bread, and wilted/brown lettuce. Keep it simple. The staff was mediocre., one minute loud and chastising, and the other friendly. We liked how clear and easy to understand the entry process in to the US was.

Everything was fine except the end of the flight. We spent more than an hour circling around Miami due to weather conditions. That was not good.

I miss my flight and they could not rebook me that day because the other flight was full, and for the next day I had to pay a whole new fee again which I think is unprofessional

Flight was delayed bc of mechanical issue. New plane had different configuration so some seats had to be switched. They called all passengers who needed new boarding cards. They did not call us so we thought our seats were the same and fine. When we boarded they informed us our receipts had changed and we are now all sitting separate and in the back row. Both my daughters had meltdowns and started to cry and once we got on the flight, we figured out how we could sit closer to each other, but this was very upsetting.

Terrible. Extremely expensive. Monitor wasn’t working the whole flight 11 hrs and American didn’t offer anything. Change of seats, wifi etc. I’m expecting q compensation from the airline

I wish that we wouldn't have to go through TSA again on connecting flights.

My baggage went to Dallas and not to Philadelphia. Do I need to add anything else?

Over 3 hours and 25 mins delay, entertainment screen froze on me for more than half the flight

they couldn’t not serve coffee or tea as the water that was boarded was not potable. the veggie food was lousy. tasted very sweet. there was a crying kid a few rows ahead. what about the difficulty caused to other passengers because the kid was crying so much. parents should know their kids better and not travel. it was a very difficult situation. would not recommend this airline next time.

the internet connection was poor. and the change of time

Very cheap airline, not worth the price. And they almost lost my luggage at JFK during a direct flight. I can't believe I paid that much money for a horrible 'premium economy' flight. Just fly economy on the cheapest end; premium economy is no different. Very very poor.

All four segments of my trip on Iberia were late for various reasons. No apparent effort to stay on schedule. Never flying Iberia again.

The flight from Madrid to Boston was awful. Without prior warning, I was seated in the row in front of an exit row where my seat did not recline. The person in front of me reclined, reducing my already tiny space further. This was the WORST flight I've ever had.

Worst flight I ever experienced, what was supposed to a 7 hour flight ended being 13 hours on a plane with no ac and the worst cabin I have ever seen. Never again.

Excellent plane, 787. Very good seat and additional stuff they provide. Good food. Very good staff.

Excellent except WiFi is a Must on Biz class 10 hour flight ! Didn’t work entire flight. SW doesn’t do that.

Excellent crew, food and service. Boarding via bus is always a pain but overall really good

I respectfully request that Air Europa consider the delay of my baggage, the damage to my suitcase, and the missing personal belongings and other items from inside my suitcase as part of my claim

There are often trade-offs involved with flying cheaper airlines. With Air Europa, their crowd control is terrible--the line at check-in in Madrid was absolutely hideous 3 hours before departure. These 787 "Dreamliners" are cheaply-made and uncomfortable. And disembarking at JFK was horrid...it was 11 p.m., yet we were force to deal with those off-site shuttle buses, presumably because Air Europa doesn't want to pay what it costs for an actual gate. But as usual, the worst aspect of Air Europa flights are tones fellow passengers: unruly and oblivious to such concepts as personal space. The crew was, on the other hand, lovely.

The flight was long but everything went well. Crew was helpful and very attentive. Food was good and the entertainment options were many.

My long-haul flight experience with this airline was not very pleasant. Earphones were paid, and no eye mask or other amenities were provided. The meals were served in cardboard boxes with plastic cutlery. The restroom was unclean and ran out of toilet paper. However, the boarding process was smooth and well organized.

No WiFi on the plane. Crew was insensitive to my medical supplies and medicine in my carry on. If the crew was monitoring passengers putting 2 bags in overhead bins there would be room. We sat for 2 hours extra. Iberojet is horrible never again.

Like I said the experience was mediocre. Nothing special about this airline.

This flight was delayed by more than an hour. The seats are uncomfortable ans do not recline properly. I prepurchased a wifi pass, but wifi was not working on this flight at all. The food was bland.

Food situation was bad. Also movie choices when compared to other airlines was terrible. Seats very narrow. My tv didn’t work.

Sitting space was very tight and I am not big or fat (I am 5'10" 178 Lb), so eating was very challenging. The rest was good.

All flights with Air Europa you arrive late to the connections of other flights, I missed my train, I had to pay for my train again, the crew are antisocial, you are paying for a service, it is not free, thanks to the travelers they are there, it is the last time I fly with them,

This flight was OK, and about as good as a long-haul economy flight gets. The Good: * I was seated in a row with my family; * There was (just) enough space in the overhead bins for our luggage; * The cabin never got too hot; * The meal and beverage service was decent, and included all-metal cutlery; * The entertainment was good; * The cabin attendants were friendly and helpful. * Immigration control at JFK was a breeze -- all we had to do was get our photos taken, and we were through! Presumably this was because Madrid shared all our information with JFK in advance, but we were out of the airport within about 10 or 15 mins of getting off the plane, which is by far the fastest I have ever got out of JFK! The Bad: * We flew economy, so of course the seats were tiny and it was very cramped; * The seats were also hard -- I had a sore butt by the end, despite using the provided cushion; * The cabin got a bit too cold at one point (although I MUCH prefer this to cabins that are too hot), and Iberia also provided a blanket.

I slept through almost all of this short flight so didn’t experience this myself, but my daughter was appalled that a older passenger in the seat behind her put her naked and extremely scary feet on the back of her armrest.

Horrible as a connecting passenger. The airport experience is horrendous in Madrid. Once on the flight everything was fine. Stop selling connecting flights through Madrid with less than 2 hrs transit time!!

The flight from Dallas to madrid was delayed for 2 to 3 hours, the flight back from Dallas to Sacramento was fine , but there were 5 gate changes within the span of 2 hours, last one was in a differny terminal. Flight and crew was okay

Old plane, sold out on snacks, just trashy seats..broken..etc

I liked the movie selection and the speed getting the luggage. I did not like the fact that for premium they did not have a personal kit with toothpaste, I travel all the time in premium economy and bussiness and althought the kit might bot be the same at least you have the smalles kit in premium economy. I did not like either that because i was in the last row of premium economy nothing made it to my seat. They run out of the food I wanted ( it is a surprise because there were only 6-7 rows. They would run out of orange jouice were thy were passing water/orange juice around, they run out of some alcohol. I am undertand running out of it but I don’t understand why mot getting kore. The service I received in row 11 was different from the service in rows 7,8…. Also the screen on my tv was broken. It did not respond to touch. So, in conclusion, if I compare my flight going to Europe with an American airline plane in premium and the one with British, British expereince was significantly much worse. This company is declining fast.

Well unfortunately our connecting was cancelled and next flight delayed. Was in airport 9 hours. Flight itself was good. I’m sure it was a FAA problem.

I noticed the crew was so much nicer and friendlier. It would be nice if British Airways would serve soft drinks during the flight

Tv didn’t work till the last hour of the flight. Staff was rude and on a couple occasions was arguing with each other. Food was possible the worst I’ve had on a flight.

Coach seats are too tight. Seem designed for small people. Food different but OK. Staff helpful.
