Noon in Madrid

You don't want a short connection in Madrid. I got off the plane to see a sign to my next gate with the notation for 26 min to get there. Fortunately I have a few hours.
The Airbus 340 out of Dulles had a tail mounted camera so we could watch a live shot of take-off and landing. Very cool, especially the night departure with the runway lights rolling by. Then the landing in Madrid in a light rain made for interesting visuals.

Glass of wine with dinner on the plane - free.
Cost to upgrade to Business Class - $2, 100.00 I passed
A four seat row all to myself - Priceless
