I have flown Iberia several times this year and wasn’t overly impressed. The first flight was MAN-BCN ret in April. Although no food served, I bought a club sandwich which was quite good. Outbound flight was delayed 2 1/2hrs; 1 1/2 of which was sat in the a/c..not ideal. Ret flight was fine and price…£76 (bargain) and much cheaper than BMIbaby/Monarch.(£120-130)
This month I flew LHR-MAD-LIS ret and this gave a good comparison between BA and Iberia. Both BA flights went well, good service, decent free food/drinks. Iberia flight to LIS went ok until landing..(hardest I’ve experienced on a 757 and weather seemed good ). Return flight delayed 1 1/2hrs, worst a/c I ‘ve been on..dirty/cramped MD88. Landing was interesting..relatively steep/fast but afaik a characterisitc of this type. Fortuantely @80 passengers were connecting to our flight to LHR so they held the BA 767 @40mins. In summary, BA much better but I would fly Iberia again if the price was right.
