Madrid Travel Forum

Hello, I will be meeting my wife at Madrid airport and need to find a spot where I can tell her to meet me at. We will both be arriving into the airport around the same time.

It may help to look at a map - and it would be much easier of you know what terminal you both arrive at. This map should help - even if you don't know your terminal.

They hid this one well:

Then click on the little "See plan" link in blue and there's the map.

Enjoy Madrid!

This is not the best web site - here's another link that has restaurants
for all terminals - in case there's a terminal outside security where you can meet (or inside security if you arrive at the same terminal):

Note you need to check the specific terminal tab across the top. This web site is terrible! They should have listed all places and just have a T1/T2/etc next to the name.

That AENA web site does not even like Firefox when opening plans !

First: Time of arrival of both of you. Second: Terminals. Third, what about if the first one arriving waits for the other at the arrivals hall?

I'm arriving in Terminal 1 and she is arriving at Terminal 2 at about the same time. I will likely walk over to Terminal 1. I have been at that airport before, but I can't say I remember much.

If you're both taking the metro into town, may want to wait some place near the *top* of the stairs that go down to the metro. Don't recall if there's a place to sit there but I know there's a big metro office.

awwww ... but I think I saw two metro stations in the map.

Help Santi! (redang)

There are indeed 2 metro stations, 1 in Terminal 2 serving T1, T2 and T3, the other in T4. You could decide to meet at the metro information centre next to the T2 station, or before that, as I think terminals 1 and 2 share baggage carousels: you could arrange to meet by carousel 1 or any pther number chosen at random.
Or, if you will both have mobile phones on you, whichever one of you gets through first could just stop somewhere that looks convenient and phone the other to tell them where they are.

Yes, Terminal 1 and 2 share the same metro station, so, you can meet at the ticket office for the metro (just one access), the first one arriving can meet the other at the arrivals hall...

indeed T1 and T2 uses the same metro connector to Madrid center, there is an information desk and ticket machines there, best easy spot to meet.

Great, thanks ... and I should point out it's easy because you just follow the little "horizontal diamond" metro signs all the way, to it's easy to follow where you're going. Can't miss the signs.

Thanks!

Anything else you need to know, don't hesitate to ask
