How to get to Johnny Shucks Maine Lobster (from Madrid)

Travel Itinerary: From Madrid to Boston (non-stop) and then to Old Orchard Beach, Maine

To start with, on Wednesday 18 February 2026 at 18:20 (Madrid time), I will get everything ready for my trip. I will take my physical passport and keep it in my hand luggage so I can access it quickly. I will also check that my ESTA is approved and valid on my phone, and I will save a screenshot or a PDF as a back-up. To move faster, I will travel with cabin baggage only, so I can avoid the bag drop and any delays at baggage reclaim.

Because my flight is the next day, I will try to avoid morning problems by staying at or near the airport overnight. I will either book a hotel close to Terminal 4 / T4S, or wait at the airport in a lounge or public area. On Thursday 19 February 2026, I will go straight to Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) by taxi. I will make sure I am inside the terminal by 09:30, which is exactly three hours before departure.

At the airport, I will keep things simple. First, I will do online check-in and save my boarding pass on my phone. Then I will go straight through security (Fast Track if it is available). After that, I will complete passport control to exit the Schengen area. Finally, I will go to Terminal T4S and walk directly to my gate.

My flight is Iberia IB347 on Thursday 19 February 2026. It departs from MAD at 12:30 (CET) and arrives at Boston Loganat 15:15 (EST). After landing, I will go directly to U.S. Immigration and then Customs. I will allow around two extra hours for this process, so I expect to be ready to leave the airport at about 17:15 (EST).

At around 17:15 (EST), I will take a taxi to Johnny Shucks Maine Lobster, 16 Old Orchard St, Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The drive takes about two hours, depending on traffic, so I should arrive at approximately 19:15 (EST).
