Yes, Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) lets you smoke at an airside open-air terrace in Terminal 4, plus marked outdoor areas outside each terminal entrance. There are no indoor smoking rooms anywhere in the terminals.
Terminal 4 (T4) — the main spot
- A 500 m² open-air smoking terrace airside, in the T4 boarding area near gates J40–J49, with vending machines and around ten tables and stools. It is reachable after security in the Departures zone, so you can smoke once you have cleared screening.
- Arriving passengers reach an open-air terrace by a walkway before baggage reclaim (by baggage hall 10, Floor 0) — also airside, so you can smoke before collecting your luggage.
- Additional outdoor areas sit outside the T4 entrance on the departures and arrivals levels.
- T4 is the base for Iberia, oneworld and most long-haul carriers, and connects to the T4S satellite (non-Schengen long-haul gates) by an underground people-mover. T4S has no smoking access, so smoke at the T4 terrace before crossing.
Terminals 1, 2 and 3
- Outdoor smoking areas outside each entrance on the departures level, marked with signage and ashtrays.
- T1 handles non-Schengen and some European flights; T2 and T3 handle Schengen flights and are linked to each other by a short internal walkway.
Good to know
- No indoor smoking is permitted anywhere in the terminals (Spanish law since 2011).
- The only airside smoking area is the T4 boarding-area terrace (gates J40–J49). T1, T2 and T3 have no airside terrace, so from those terminals smoke outside the entrance before screening.
