Madrid Barajas T1 - Grab the cushioned seat at the cafeteria
It's funny I encountered this site while searching for info on the Barcelona Airport, but I think it's a fantastic site, esp. for young frequent travelers or for those who are on a travelling quest and continue to spend time at airports. I mean, we all have experience of taking two or more flights in a row, yet the schedule just doesn't seem to work perfectly.
My experience sleeping at Barajas was, unfortunately, due to a weird travelling schedule due to a very unhelpful traveling partner. The person was visiting me from a different country and gave me a specific location to visit - only about 10 days before arrival. Hence, the expensive tickets for transportation and accomodation and of course a pretty horrible schedule that HAD to rely on transportation schedules.
So I arrived at Barajas at a quarter or perhaps half past midnight, which was quite early considering that my visit...

No sits in an airport!!!
stayed a few hours in barajas T1 during the night. no sits in the whole airport! just a really expensive open cafe, lots of people sleeping on the floor and also, there were a few ones making noise. the best way to pass the night is to take a coffee and just read a book. it's impossible t sleep!

Safe but uncomfortable 
I spent 2 nights at Madrid Barajas airport. Good to know thing is, that metro starts running at 6am, so if you have early departure, there is no other choice than stay at the airport overnight (I know, You can take a cab, but if you are budget traveller as I am, this is far too expensive option).
First night (I was waiting for 6.45am departure) i realized, that there is almost no seating anywhere in Arrival/Check-in hall. I discovered some seating at "arrival lounge no. 6" (in terminal 2 i guess), where are benches without armrests. I slept well, it is dark and quiet place. When I returned to terminal 3 (most planes are departin from this terminal) around 4am, I saw about 50-70 people, sleeping everywhere in check-in hall. On the ground, on those baggage belts, in the 24/7 restaurant nearby.
The second night I slept on the floor in terminal 3 (covered myself with lufthansa blanket) bec...

Amazing Experience
I was on a teen trip bringing togeether Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs and were trying to catch a connecting flight to Jerusalem. Unfortunately, Iberia Airlines (by far the worst airline company on record), decided to cancel a flight at the last minute for no reason, splitting our group into two parts. Letting the group leaders responsible haggle for accomodations, me and my 20-25 newfound international friends were free to explore the airport. We taught them how to play American football, running up and down and screaming through the airport. We called our parents, played butts up downstairs, my friend even took a piss on the door of the bathroom because the door was locked. Security merely stared. Laden with video cameras, we filmed commercials mocking Iberia's ineptness, ate latenight McDonalds, and interviewed disgruntled customers in a variety of languages including Spanish, Portuge...

Not Bad
There was one cafe that I found between terminals where everybody gathered. Many people slept on the floors, unbothered, or fell asleep at the tables. Nobody harrassed anybody. there was a police office around the corner, though I didn't see any come through the area. Felt plenty safe, and had WIFI, clean bathrooms.

OK
I arrived around 10 pm and my next fly was about 11 am. So I decided to stay that area of arrival. Almost nobody was there, just some cleaners and maintenence guys. Not so comfortable seats with that ugly arm thing... but i found some benches in cafe (closed cafe). u can sleep there quite comfortable, but be sure, to find those benches first, there are maybe 5 of them. I had sweater with me, but i still felt little bit cold. Otherwise was pretty cool experience flying alone. have fun!!!!!!!!

Quiet&dark place to stay in
You have to go to a place between both terminals where you can sleep peaceful, without being disturbed by any kind of noise and where there's no transit of anybody and there are comfortable seats without armchairs ,))
