Here are my findings:
Booked on Iberia website (not Iberia Express website), under an IB code, but advertised and operated by Iberia Express.
IB3715 flight number on boarding pass, and credited on BAEC statement as "LONDON GATWICK - MADRID (Y/O) IB3715(Operated by: Iberia)".

5 TPs, and they *DID* count towards my number of eligible flights.

Also got a few Avios extra as a Tier Bonus.

Flights operated on a Saturday and miles credit to account on the Monday.


FWIW, The flight on the way out (A320 with sharklets) had incredibly tight pitch and there was no seat recline! I managed to get a row to myself fortunately as my knees were otherwise touching the seat in front (despite no recline). The flight back did have recline, but felt very crampt with someone next to me (until I moved to an spare double).
