Not having any Avios, I cannot either look for award availability nor find out how many Avios it would take to fly in J SFO-MAD-BCN. It would be early May 2020 - I don’t believe it is peak season (except 5/5).
Also, I have read that Iberia will start flying from SFO to MAD. Is this true and if so, when?
All help is appreciated.
You can certainly search for lowest-tier IB award availability on aa.com. If nothing shows up there, it's possible that IB itself will have availability at different redemption levels.
But don't expect to see May, 2020, availability until later this year.
