My friend and I will be arriving at MAD from the US (American Airlines) at 5:30 AM next Tuesday morning. We have an 8:15 AM domestic flight with Iberia air and realize this could be a stretch. (we would have booked through, but have changed our itinerary a bit.) Could anyone please tell us the most efficient way to get from terminal 4 to T4 through customs, immigration, etc.? We aren’t checking any bags on either flight. Also, our overseas flight has a great track record of 1/2 hour early arrivals. We are US citizens. Appreciate any guidance!

No customs (that's for your stuff) only immigration. 2.5 hours should be OK, as you're on the same airline alliance, assuming everything goes well getting through the new EES system. (Which could include a machine, finger printing & your photo taking, or not, every day it seems to change depending upon the airport, it's a new system with some issues.) Don't stop to look at connecting flight or go to the loo, go straight to immigration.
