They just sent their flights to us - Iberia 5702 and 5703 - I checked the Iberia website and these flights are listed as "OP" - "operated by another airline" - my question is which airline? where do they check in? This is only their second flight ever and I can't lose them in Schiphol! Thanks for any assitance
All IB flights to BCN (with the exception of the MAD-BCN shuttle and some Balearic connections) are operated by ClickAir (XG), which is a LCC partly owned by IB. The main differences to IB mainline are even more cramped seating and lack of business class. Service is pay for everything for both. Mileage earning is severely limited, but at least IB's own program will credit some miles for these flights. See
www.clickair.com for more information.
XG and IB flights (to MAD) are both handled by AviaPartner at Schiphol, so I guess the desks are the same for both airlines. XG also offers Internet checkin which can be done at *any time* before the flight - I don't know whether this works for AMS, but might be worth a shot.
