Connection in Madrid 1hr 5minutes

Hi,

I booked a flight from TLV to EZE , connecting at MAD. My flight to MAD supposed to land at 11:30 and the flight to EZE departs at 12:35.. then I suddenly realized I got only ~1hr for the connection..
Would it be enough? BTW it's the same ticket and carrier (Iberia). So I guess that if the first flight is delayed they're responsible to move me to the next flight..?
another question - I dont need to claim and recheck my baggage right?

Oh - forgot to mention - both flights are in terminal 4S. By the way, what's the deal with this 'S'? I mean, is it the same terminal 4 or what?

4 and 4S are connected by a tram. I have had connections of this length a few times in the past few years. You will have to cover a long distance by walking and on the tram but I would not worry. Everything is very well signed and you have enough time as long as the first flight is on time. Great airport!

The "S" stands for Satellite - it's the part of the huge T4 complex that deals mainly with Oneworld flights to/from non-Schengen countries (countries not part of the common European immigration zone.) Neither Israel nor Argentina are Schengen countries, hence you'll stay in T4S the whole time.

Get off the plane, look on the reader board for the departure gate for the flight to EZE, walk to the gate. Done. No passport, no customs/bag handling... just connect through the transit area.

Try to get both the TLV-MAD and MAD-EZE boarding passes when you check in at TLV. I've found the Iberia agents at Ben Gurion to be hard to deal with on occasion. (I don't think they work for Iberia, but are contract staff instead. Too small a station.)
