ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Madrid Barajas - MAD - February 2020

Hi All,

I spent few days at MAD for work. Had chance to do little spotting from my hotel room. On day 1 (below), I also took some pictures from the highway overpass in front of my hotel.

Consulting google maps, the car wash visible in some of the pictures would suggest the hotel is the Madrid Marriot. (correct me if I'm wrong :wink: )

Yes, the hotel is Marriott Auditorium & Conference Center. I was only on the 2nd floor. If you can get rooms on the 3rd or 4th floors, the view will be even better.

Hi VH3D,
Do all rooms have a view of the gliding path / runway...?
Thanx,
Jan

All rooms along the highway will have airport view. Also rooms facing south east will also have the view of glide path. In other words, half of the rooms in the hotel will give you 'action' view. And no matter which floor (2nd 3rd or 4th) will be high enough to see the ramps at the airport.
