Since I mentioned it in a previous post, I thought to snap
some photos of the childrens’ play area in the Madrid airport. It’s in Terminal
4, which is physically quite separate from the other terminals, and only serves
Iberia, I think. It’s all free and open to young children and their parents.
There is a big play space with toys, books, and things to
climb on, as well as a smaller space with soft blocks for building and a ball
pit.
The bathroom area is only for children- Essie and I
appreciated the smaller open toilets, while Juju was glad they had some behind
closed doors for the older, more modest kids.
One space provides bath-like sinks and blow dryers, and
they lend you towels there. Beyond that is a kitchen space with fridge, microwave, and
high chairs.
Belalu and I tried out the crib room. There were three cribs
and a comfy chair for nursing and parent napping, which I can attest did the
trick after a no-sleep overnight flight (luckily I was the only one who didn’t
get any sleep on the flight).
I wish all major airports had such a complete service. It
felt like a family VIP lounge, and made the almost-five hours between flights
pass much more quickly.
that looks awesome! wow!
