A very tiring transfer to Ibiza via Madrid airport. There were no english announcements, no one spoke english, and the instructions about my departure gate on my boarding pass had a gate J40 with a question mark. Excellent. I ended up following some people I saw with the same flight number on their ticket and eventually found the correct gate, which was nowhere near J40. For some reason they thought they would change the gate to the other side of the building at the last minute. Madrid appeared dry and desolate from the air. A hot, 9 hour journey, with flight attendants who couldn't speak english and ignored me when I tried to get their attention while they were handing out drinks and food. I wasn't allowed to take my own water on board due to incredibly inconvenient laws that prohibit liquids over 100ml being taken on in hand luggage. I hate low cost airlines! More often than not, they don't seem to be worth it.
