Very handy to know Tyrolean. I'm OW Sapphire, and at 6'1" have endured several rather uncomfortable short-haul hops way down the back with IB.

I called IB today to request seat allocation on some future bookings, a request which initially was met with curt reluctance. The agent unconvincingly fumbled their way through an explanation that only Iberia Plus card holders could request seat allocation in advance. With a little gentle persistence he eventually said he would 'try', and next thing I know he's telling me it's all done.

Seats allocated in the rows before the exit rows on all flights, which is the best I could have hoped for in advance (knowing full well all could change before I'm actually onboard!).
