EDIT: Sorry, I missed that you were seeing friends in London. Could you do that on the way back and still route direct to MAD?
I wish I could take the Iberia BOS-MAD nonstop. Unfortunately, I'll be coming from a wedding on Cape Cod and I'll be cutting it too tight so I need to take the later evening flight out of Boston.
For what it's worth, an agent added the 12:20 BA 460 (772) from LHR to MAD in business class. We got a refund on top of it.
Appending: Forgot to add that they also added a MAD-LHR return in business class, as well.
Thank you all for explaining everything to me. I am so fortunate to have received your wisdom.
