Do I have to go through customs for a connecting flight in Madrid?
You will have to pass immigration, walk past customs, catch the bus to Terminal 4, checkin, go through security, probably take the train to Terminal 4S, pass through immigration again and board your flight.
Can you transit through Madrid airport now?
You will not be in transit at Madrid. Transit arrangements are for people travelling non-Schengen to non-Schengen with a connection in Madrid. In your case, Madrid is your first port in the Schengen area, so you will go through Immigration at Madrid and enter Spain to catch the domestic flight onwards.
How do you get between terminals at Madrid airport?
In order to get from one terminal to another ( T1 T2 T3 T4), passengers and visitors can use the shuttle bus, a freebus transport service between the airport terminals, 24 hours a day.
How long does it take to get through customs at Madrid airport?
Customs is usually just a formality, but if you are unlucky to be pulled out for a random inspection, then it could hold you up by another 10 or 15 minutes. The journey time from the airport by taxi (fastest way) is 30 minutes, by Airport Express bus or metro approx 45 minutes.
