Iberia Business Class Review: Is It Worth It?
Рет қаралды 13,424
Күн бұрынCurious about Iberia Business Class? In this video, we'll take you on a luxury flight from Madrid to Boston and show you if it's worth it. Get an inside look at the A330 and find out if this expensive experience is worth the splurge!
In this video we review Iberia's Business Class as we fly direct from Madrid to Boston. Iberia has a bit of a controversial reputation and we experienced everything from unexpected glitches to delightful surprises, and we left no stone unturned during this flight review. This airline hasn't received the best reviews from others and its service has been reviewed poorly by many. Is it a disaster, a hidden gem, or somewhere in between? Get ready to uncover the truth about Iberia's inflight service, food, comfort, and more!
The cash fare for this flight was nearly $7000 but the Mrs & I paid only about $150 each thanks to
American Express points! We transferred them during a bonus offer to British Airways Avios, making this a valuable points redemption with under 40k points each!
Was it worth it? Does Iberia offer a luxury experience? Watch to find out!

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Somehow I have never flown on an A340 - it’s definitely on my to-do list before they’re all gone! I’ve traveled on all the other modern Boeing & Airbus planes except for that one. Thanks so much for watching & commenting! ✌️

Looks pretty good Jeff and pretty similar to their A350 that I got the opportunity to fly on back in January from Santiago, Chile to Madrid. Though looks like your meals were definitely much more appetising than the ones I got on my flight 😅
@HDjeff 9 ай бұрын
Awesome, I really love traveling on the A350 so I was hoping for a swap because they do fly it on that route quite a bit. The food was a great surprise, I feel like catering back from Boston wouldn’t be that good either. Thanks so much for watching & commenting! ✌️

Great video and thx for the info! My wife & are both United 1K (Star Alliance), and British Airways Gold (One World), so we fly alot for pleasure. We've never flown Iberia Airlines but will in November 2024. I wasn't that thrilled its an A330, but the flights seem to work the best for us. You showed a business class lounge (Madrid)...does Iberia have a first class lounge? I ask because I never eat on a flight, I fly Business/First for comfort and sleep only. I'll eat in the lounge prior to my flight, but prefer a first class lounge since most have a sit down restaurant type atmosphere/ establishment. Again...great video and 👊respect👊 to the both of you!

Thank you for the kind words! I was Continental/UA Gold/Platinum/1K 2010-2023 without missing a year, finally gave up being loyal and spending more points instead. 🤣 Iberia doesn’t do first class, only business like all the US airlines. I think in Europe it’s only BA, AF, Swiss, and Lufthansa that offer first class but let me know if I missed any.

Quick question- you mentioned you booked this flight last minute. When I called Iberia asking about booking with avios, they said they only reserve approx 2 seats a flight for avios redemption and you have to book out like 8-10 months in advance. Do you have a tip to share for your last minute booking?
@HDjeff 4 ай бұрын
That’s not entirely true, sometimes they release more seats last minute like within a week or two. I just found 6 seats available Boston-Madrid on March 27th. When using points it’s best to book either within 1-2 weeks or as soon as those dates become available.

I've noticed that IB's service attitude in J is *much* better for Spanish speakers. (In Y it sucks for everyone). And yes, you missed the bars in the lounge-there's one near where you were, but not open AMs- the other is on the far opposite side and always available.
@HDjeff 9 ай бұрын
That makes sense, I always try and at least greet and thank the cabin crew in their language when I can. I think our flight was at 1pm so that’s probably why I didn’t find the bar. Thanks for the great comment! ✌️

Have you seen this? An Iberia Airlines Customer Care Service employee, in all seriousness, insistently asks me to send a photo of my credit card on both sides to pay for something. After I refuse, he hangs up and stops answering questions. There was also a request to "find relatives or friends in England or Europe" so I could buy a seat with extra legroom because my country - Kazakhstan - is "not supported by our system". What is wrong with my country?
@HDjeff 6 ай бұрын
There is nothing wrong with your country, their customer service is awful and that sounds like a scam. It took nearly 6 months and many phone calls and emails just to get back $200 for clothes I had to buy (that they promised to pay for) when they lost my bag on their discount airline Level. I would love to visit Kazakhstan some day!

Sadly Iberia's A330's are a bit dated unlike their A350next that they use out of JFK sometimes.
@HDjeff 8 ай бұрын
Yes I noticed that, they also fly the A350 to Boston occasionally but no luck with that flight.

This is absolute.y bull crap….. you selected a single trip with a cost of way less of 7000 dollars. It’s a shame that people have to inflate prices…
@HDjeff 5 ай бұрын
You are right it was only $6938 one way, I rounded up. 🤷♂️ I booked with miles of course and only paid the taxes.

@@Gduniversity13the flight I reviewed is from Madrid to Boston and according to google flights it is currently selling for $6737 one way every day from now until January. A savings of $200 compared to last summer! Of course you can also book it for only 50k avios and about $100 in taxes. ✌

Iberia is dated, cleanliness was so so and the bread was stale . The wine was good
@HDjeff 2 ай бұрын
Very accurate! I feel like the bread is stale on every airline lately.
