Flights from Madrid to John F Kennedy Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Madrid to John F Kennedy Intl 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Not specific to this flight or Iberia specifically, but general advice for any long-haul flight: Bring headphones (ideally noise-cancelling) that have a wired connection and a 2.5mm jack if you want to use the in-flight entertainment system so you don't have to rely on the cheap, hot-garbage headsets airlines give out for free. Plus noise-cancelling headphones are a blessing if you have the misfortune of being seated near a screaming baby!
CherieFlew with British Airways-Jul 2026
Do not transit Madrid. Maybe it is fine as a aa final or starting point for non-stop flights but it is a nightmare for making connecting legs of a flight. Literally people were held up in multiple immigration lines and missed connections. 2 people had to get off our plane after boarding because other members of their party could not make it through all the transit lines in time. Why are people just transiting made to wait in a 3rd passport control line to leave Spain while only transiting??? Connection times need to take that into account.
GregFlew with Air Europa-Apr 2026
Its a long flight. Be prepared for a long walk if connecting in Madrid.
WilliamFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024
Madrid’s airport is incredibly windy and cumbersome to navigate. Make sure you have PLENTY of time to get to your gate. Unlike other airports they also don’t announce gate changes, you have to pay attention to the departure screens constantly.
