Hello, Frequent Flyers.

I'm a fairly INfrequent flyer, trying to book a trip to South Africa using AA miles. We'll be flying from Chicago to UK or Europe, then on to South Africa. For the dates we want to go, there are business class award seats on BA going to SA, but not seats coming back. So I'm tentatively booked to come back on Iberian, going through Madrid.

We've flown BA's business class to SA once before and really appreciated the flat beds and the lounge amenities at Heathrow. Can anyone tell me what business class is like on Iberia? Also, what about lounges in the Madrid airport?

And, is there any other airline in the oneworld group that flies to/from South Africa?

Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

Celia
