Hi David,Davconn said:Hi, all. A variation on the originial question: From all your replies, it appears that two hours would be enough time to make it from the plane to catch the bus at the Madrid airport. I arrive on a Monday next month in Madrid at 0730 (with a checked backpack) and want to catch a bus from the airport to Ponferrada that leaves Terminal 4(?) at 0935. I assume that I can purchase a ticket from the driver, and am assuming all else goes smoothly. I'd really like to make this bus so I can arrive early enough to make my way to the albergue in the afternoon. I believe in a higher power but am I being grossly optimistic? I never been to Madrid's airport and so am not sure of how efficiently things move along. All input is most welcome.
Best,
David
Hi Davconn. Last time we wanted to take a direct bus from Barajas to Astorga, it was full. Also the tickets are to be purchased at a machine by the bus stop. Once that didn't work and we had to go to an office (and wait in a queue) to buy our tickets! AnneI assume that I can purchase a ticket from the driver, and am assuming all else goes smoothly.
Thing is; if your flight touches down at 12:40 you won't actually disembark until 13:00 and then you don't know what the queues at immigration will be like. You may well be fine but then again.....
Why stress out?
You could always buy your train ticket at Atocha??
And since I will be flying from a European country to Spain, I though I would skip the "International Immigration" line and just get checked at customsI considered buying it at the station, but buying it online today, would cost 45Euro and buying it at the station would be 109.
A similar question from me too: It seems to take some time to get to terminal 4 from where I was thinking of taking a direct C- train to Chamertin. Will it be faster to take some bus outside T 2 to Chamartin train station?
