    I’m flying to Madrid with a connecting flight, and I just checked the details. I’m arriving at Terminal 1 and departing from Terminal 4. I immediately started searching online to find out how far apart they are and got a little worried that they might be in different buildings. My layover is an hour and twenty minutes, and now I’m not sure if I’ll have plenty of time or if I’ll have to run as soon as I land. Has anyone made this transfer before and knows how long the trip actually takes?

    Also, is the shuttle between the terminals free, or do I have to pay? Where exactly should I look for it after exiting Terminal 1? I don’t want to waste time wandering around the airport looking for the stop when every minute counts.

    When I flew to Buenos Aires via Madrid a year ago, I also didn’t realize at first that T1, T2, and T3 are part of one connected building while T4 is a separate building a few kilometers away. I read more about the terminal layout on the Madrid International Airport site, where everything is clearly explained. The shuttle between the terminals is free and takes about 15–20 minutes, depending on traffic. You’ll find the stop right after exiting the arrivals area. Keep in mind that after landing, you have to get off the plane, walk to the stop, wait for the shuttle, and find your gate in T4, which is quite large. You’ll definitely make it in an hour and twenty minutes. By the way, where are you flying to next from Madrid?
