I am flying air Europa madrid to malaga in a few weeks - I have never flown domestically from barajas - do I go to a different terminal? Also anyone have any ideas on the best close to the airport hotel - I have a super early morning flight to the States in April and want to be as close as possible to the airport that night. Thanks

Air Europa operates from Terminal 2 of Barajas Airport. That's the one the Metro reaches. Upper floor departures, lower floor arrivals. Easy.

Great - thanks so much Torrales

The Sol Melia tryp diana is located near the airport- there's also an NH express just down the road from the diana...they are both in Alameda de Osuna and 5-10 minutes from the airport.

Thanks!

You might also check the Auditorium Hotel, located on the A-2 highway. A lot of airlines use it when they have to accommodate passengers due to delays, etc.
