I walked the short distance down to the metro station and as I arrived on a platform a train heading to the airport arrived. A very quick journey through the airport and after only an hours wait they started boarding my flight to Madrid.
The flight was a small sized turbo prop plane, and it turned out to be quite a bumpy flight – with the seat belt signs staying illuminated for the whole of the journey. Thankfully I was right by the galley so a couple of us were able to get service.
Clearly the bumpiness must have been caused by a tail wind as on a 70 minute flight we managed to land at Madrid 35 minutes early. The plane landed out at the domestic parking lot, so we had to be bussed quite a long way back to the main terminal and there I had to transit across to the T4S satellite terminal for my, now nearly 4 hour, wait for my flight onto London.
