take the BA record locator and input this on IB website.
Worked for me on IB LHR - MAD - ORD
Good luck
That didn't work for me either, unfortunately. Apparently, when you book via AA on Iberia as a codeshare, Iberia books the flight with a "generic" 5-character code that is associated with OneWorld in general.
No valid Iberia record locator is issued-- all you get is an AA record locator that doesn't work on the Iberia web site. I guess you have to hope the AA desk can get access to the Iberia seating plans via their system and assign you a seat when you book the ticket or wait until 24 hours prior to the flight and try then-- and of course, pray that the seating assignment sticks.
