Leg-room wise, their standard seat leg room is better than Iberia's.
BTW. VY also offers this route. Also a semi-LCC, but closer to a conventional airline than FR. Bookable using IB avios if it's too expensive $$-wise.
Hi Palal,
Thank you again for your advice.
Wife and I will have 2 large luggage as checkin and 2 carry-ons. No need for meal in less than 2 hours - will look for the right Y service when we book in March.
Will checkin at the airport at least 1 hour prior to departure.
cheers, dli
