My best plan for Trans the MAD airport is getting out asap . Once there you can catch a cheap connection to your destination. Last month I arrive at 6:00 and caught a flight to Asturias at 8:30 for $65 , there is a fast train for more and it...

Edit: Here's an example. You see the date and time in the filenames...
