City Break to Madrid


Passengers arriving at Spain's Barajas Madrid Airport's plush Terminal 4 are still seeing delays in the time it takes for their luggage to be transferred from their cheap flight to Madrid to the luggage carousel. Its reported that this process that can often take up to an hour. Although the airport authority, insists that the average time passengers wait for their luggage is 13 minutes. Airport authorities have at least recognised the problem and travellers and holiday makers will now be able to enjoy impromptu theatre performances while they wait. Some passengers argue that the Spanish airports authority (AENA) along with the three companies responsible for the baggage handling at Madrid Barajas airport should quickly invest in either more staff or improve efficiency. However Madrid City Hall has arranged to employ out of work actors at apparently no cost to entertain the passengers arriving on cheap flights from across Europe as they wait, this is seen as a positive way or promoting tourism by the Madrid authorities. Over the last week, as part of a trial project, two actors were to be seen circulating through Madrid's Terminal 4's baggage collection area, mingling with waiting passengers, and staging five-minute performances. "They're funny, but I'm still waiting for luggage," said one recent arrival as they waited and looked at the still-unmoving luggage carrousel. This type of problem is not helpful to the travelling public say airflights.co.uk. Our passengers booking cheap flights to Madrid will either be travelling for business or going on a cheap city Break say the online travel agency. Either way time is important to them and a wait at the end of your journey to Spain is a frustration say airflights. We have already seen an increase in passengers booking cheap flights to Madrid and taking hand luggage only so that they can clear the airport more quickly say airflights.co.uk.
