Iberia Business class at economy

I agree . All my flights with Iberia were good. Flight on time , plane clean , food OK , service OK

Most of prejudices about Iberia aren´t fair. Some remarks. Iberia safety records are superb. maintenance premium and pitch equivalent to all other european airlines. Iberia DOES know EZE quite well, since it´s the airline which flies the most to South America. Iberia pilots are really well prepared. A340 are nicely decorated and with aergonomic Aeroseats, not as fancy as BA but nicer and more confortable of other more reputed airlines, like for instance Swiss. Food is regular. The only thing we could complain about Iberia is not punctuality but external image and sometimes indolent crews. Not top choice but of course not a terrible airline.

Can’t help it, since 1977 I made 93 round trips with IB without a major problem. BW Roger

I remember an Iberia flight to Barcelona I had way back at around 1998, service was your average airline type but something similar to the changing gates occurred at Barcelona like theplane at Madrid. The gate numbers changed a couple of times and we ended up 4 hours late because of technical issues on top of the airport confusion.

theplane is very right in my opinion,
Every experience i have had with IB sucks!

Especially the time when i was 1 year old and traveling with my mom and the flight was canceled and they didnt put us in a hotel for the next days flight and we had to sleep(well my mom says she didnt because she had to watch me) in the waiting hall…:mad:

After theplane’s report i think i’ll add Iberia to my list of don’t flys

dont get me started on IB….almost every time i’ve flown on them, i’ve wanted to try skydiving instead….
Last year, i did GVA-MAD-EZE-MAD-GVA…
GVA-MAD i must admit was alright…maybe even good….but from then on….
MAD-EZE was an A340 with seats that would make Franco’s chief torturer proud….. and it’s the last thin anyone wants on a 14 hour flight……
to top things off, on arriving at EZE, the plane bounced 2 times before finally settling…i’d normally let it go (you can blame it on the pilot not being familiar with the airport), except for the fact that EZE-MAD, the 340 bounced not twice, but thrice (3 times)! again the seats were a torture….
AND
MAD-GVA had a funny story behind it…
flight was supposed to leave from (could it be?) B31 (not too sure of the gate numbers at MAD), and 5 minutes into when the flight should have departed, the gate was changed to B21…..so off we went…..up, right, down……B21, here we are!…….15 minutes later, no sign of our airplane, and the gate is changed to……B31!!!so we go up, left down….. believe it or not, this happened 4 times over the space of an hour, before we were sent to an altogether different gate, and bussed out to a replacement airplane….
the only other times before that i have flown with IB (MIA-MAD-GVA), the DC10 doing MIA-MAD had even worse seats than the A340 ones, AND the flight arrived late at MAD, which meant we lost our connection and were put on a SR flight……oh, and yes, our bags ended up in FRA by some unusual handling……all in all, rather frustrating…

IB has always been my favourite airline. I always fly with them from Holland/Belgium, to Madrid and Barcelona severall times a year. BW Roger
