Mexico City's international airport (MEX) is a bit dated but has everything you might need before your flight. I love how there are multiple charging stations to charge your devices before your flight.
Madrid Barajas Airport is modern, clean and convenient. It's connected to public transports (Cercanias and Metro) and has a taxi station as well. For me the best opiton to get to the city center is via Metro, unless you are a group of four, where taking a taxi is more convenient and just slightly more expensive.
Mexico City and Madrid are connected by multiple direct and connecting flights every day of the week.
Iberia's onboard experience is comfortable. Depending on the time you travel, you will be offered breakfast, lunch or dinner. I liked the wide catalog of their entertainment system, available on all seats.
