I booked 2 award seats on IB with my BA Avios. I was nervous about booking them because I heard only bad things about them but figured I was in business so it wouldn't be too horrible. I hoped that other seats would open up but alas they did not. I was resigned to flying with them. A week before my flight a friend told me she and her family had flown them in J and had a bad experience and that made me more nervous. This trip report contains:

TLV Ground Experience & Dan Lounge
IB 3319 TLV-MAD in Domestic J
MAD Ground Experience & IB Velazquez Lounge
IB 6253 MAD-JFK in old international J
