    bordeaux to SJPP

    How long does it take to travel from T1 to T4S at Madrid Airport?

    Hi peregrina2000, I hope I could ask you the question here. Last year when I came from Santiago to Madrid by bus, after I got off the bus, somebody directed me to go to the subway to get from T1 to T4 to catch my flight back to Canada. It costed me 5 euros plus 30 minutes ride in the subway...
