Iberia MAD-BOG 346: Business or Business Plus?
Hi,
I'm scheduled to fly MAD-BOG-MAD in June on an AA award flight in J.
Flight will be operated by Iberia.
Just wanted to book it when I discovered that Iberia actually has 2 different business classes ("business" and "business plus").
Did I get this right that they would actually operate 2 different biz classes on the same flight? If yes, how can I find out in which of those an AA award J flight would put me?
Or are some planes having "old" (business) and others "new" (business plus) configuration?
MAD-BOG-MAD is on a 346.
Thanks everyone in advance for your help.

All IB 346 have "business plus" seats, "business class" is IB short and medium haul denomination.
business plus= long haul, angled bed
business class= medium and short haul (standar seat with central seat blocked)

thanks - that's what I thought.
I found however this seating chart at SeatGuru:
http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Ibe...s_A340-600.php
And SeatGuru explicitly mentions Business and Business Plus on the same plane...
did they get it wrong or am I missing something?
I'm a bit puzzled...

Seat Guru shows and old 3 classes scheme chart, those were the days when A346 had First (wrongly named buisness plus on seat guru, Business and coach)
here is a link to IB's web with a miniature chart seatmap, bottom image shows current scheme:
