iberia Flights Malaga - Madrid - Manchester

Hi, anyone had experience of Air Iberia service.Considering a cheap flight back to Manchester via Madrid but not sure I want to risk it, as I might miss my connection at Madrid if late leaving Malaga. 55 mins.wait at Madrid - is it do-able? Thanks in advance.

I guess with that route you are not going to get hammered by the extortionate half term prices charged by UK carriers!

If it's Iberia all the way ask them about the connecting flights, I'm sure they will advise. I'm sure it's doable if all is on time but you can never be 100% sure.

I have done this twice LHR - MAD - Almeria & it has worked fine but I would be panicking if I had less than an hour betwen flights.

Travelling from London, we left from the same terminal that we arrived in but the terminal is huge & by the law of sod, we arrived at one end & departed from the other. It was a good 15 minute walk.

Doing the journey in reverse, we had to use a shuttle train to get from one terminal to another & again, this took quite a while.

Friends  of mine did this return journey last Summer & even with the same carrier, they did not get their flight at Madrid due to delays departing from Almeria & they had to stay overnight.

Personally, I always leave loads of time & I would definitely want at least a 2 hour stopover.

First of all, thanks for the feedback.  I think your right a 2 hour gap is more of a cushion. I think its worth a try in the future but I'll wait for better connection times. I guess I could go to Madrid by Train from Malaga then just fly madrid - manchester. Thanks again.
