I am ok if I end up waiting for check-in to select a seat, but I will not be that happy if I don't get fast track and lounge access at the airport. I chose UX over Iberia because I have status with FB and that makes my experience on the ground so much better.

Has anyone recently flown UX as a FB elite and can confirm how much of the FB program is preserved?
Yes, many times.
Within Spain you will get
- Priority check in
- One bag checked in free of charge
- Fast track security if available
- Priority boarding
- Access to preferred seats when checking in at the airport
- No lounge acess unless flying in business of having a same day connnecting Skyteam flight from or to Spain
