Unfortunately my flying patterns /basic fare would not be enough to get me even silver on Iberia, so I would have to do it either through their credit card or qualify via another OW airline
the Iberia credit card costs around 100 EUR per year and gets you silver status automatically
plus MAD as a destination city is coming in hot for the last couple of years, so i would not discard more direct flights to several places (like the one to Tokio openened this year and has a lot of success)
