I recently booked my flights to Palma and Iberia offered the cheapest tickets around. We have to change in Barcelona, but with savings of £30 per person and a much earlier departure time I don’t mind spending 90 mins. in Barcelona.

We depart at 6:30 am so I don’t think we’ll be that hungry at the time. Still, given the catering options Iberia now ‘offers’ I’ll ensure we have some water and munchies with us. Oh well, at least we can stuff our face in Barcelona before flying to PMI!

With regard to my general impression of Iberia, I have always preferred to fly BA, even though I’m Spanish. Iberia lacks the professionalism you would expect from a flag carrier. The captain seldom bothers to address the passengers, not even when there is an unexpected and unexplained delay. And some addresses are given in Spanish only. It all feels a bit like a charter holiday airline to be honest.
