Iberia coded but El Al operated flights MAD-TLV
Any info on these and suggestions about what the seats and experience are like?
I'm finding them offered as options on a trip I'm trying to build between BOS and TLV with a MAD stopover. More details on the stopover question in this thread on the Iberia forum. (and answers to my question there would be welcome, if you have any ideas).
Any thoughts on El Al vs. Iberia Express between TLV and MAD? Are there any oneworld fares which allow you to force a connection on RJ TLV-AMM-MAD- and onwards to the USA? I assume RJ AMM-MAD would be a much better experience than either LY or IB express TLV-MAD.

Hoping someone can answer this -- will this route (MAD-TLV, earn Avios if crediting to Iberia Plus? Might it even earn tier points, if it's IB coded and El Al operated?
Booking class L
IB 2395
OPERATED BY: EL AL, LY 396
Seems to me the flight might earn 35 tier points but I'm not sure if that's true if LY is the operator even with an IB code.
Also, I assume if it does earn TP it can only do so when crediting to an Iberia and not to a BA Avios account.

Flight will earn Avios & TP or QF points or AS miles. It may earn AA due to their bit of LY codesharing. It will not earn in any other OW programme.
