Oooo I will be interested to see what ex-UK fares are like for this compared to BA / AY considering how much of a out of way diversion it is.
That notwithstanding the mileage alone will be a nice Avios earning opportunity.

Breaks my 25 year boycott of Iberia - a company that drove me to embrace Ryanair and Easyjet with relief and boundless gratitude.
