I know that sometimes BOS gets inferior equipment; can someone confirm that the business class seats BOS-MAD are fully flat, not angled? (I can't seem to tell from aa.com or iberia.com which version of the A340 services this route.) Reviews seem to indicate that the fully flat seat is a better product than that in BA CW. True?

Also, I guess if I book the AA codeshare on aa.com (where it is a LOT less expensive than anything I am seeing on iberia.com!), I won't be able to select seats on IB metal, unless I can get a 6-digit IB locator from AA, and then go to finnair.com. Right? FWIW, I am AA PLT....but still confused .

Could someone explain where you book IB seats on Finnair online?
I found my booking but don't see where to choose seats.

Also my AA frequent flyer number is on my mixed ticket. Will I get skymiles for the IB portion or should I join the IB program?
Thanks!

Can someone tell me if I, as BA gold, can bring any extra luggage when travelling short haul economyThis page only mention extra allowance for IB Plus

I don't think you can do this any longer. If you click on the Help button at seat selection, you will see this:

"You can use the Select Your Seat service if your flight is operated by Finnair, the flight number in your ticket starts with AY and the ticket number starts with 105"

Happy Travels.

Hello,

I would like to fly Tokyo-Pusan using oneworld partner Japan Airlines but Pusan is not listed in the drop down menu. In this case do I call to make the booking?

Thank you.

Does anybody know how the baggage allowance works if a passenger without status has a ticket on which the first flight is BRU-MAD on AA code IB operated flight while the next flight MAD-DFW is AA.
Furthermore, the AA part is upgraded to J while the IB part is in economy?
I read in the rules online the following line:
So if I read it in the most favorable way, I read that the AA rules should apply.
AA has of course the very nice rule that allows 2 checked bag for passengers flying in J or F and the 32kg weight limit. But is Iberia interpreting it this way or would they say 1 piece of 23kg?

Does anyone know where to find the mileage accrual rates for Oneworld partners by class flown?

I'll be travelling to MAH from LHR via MAD on flights operated by British Airways, Iberia and Air Nostrum.

I'm just trying to figure out the charges to take 2 bikes there and back. Is it €75 per flight per bike? So €600 in total? The Iberia website is very vague. I'm hoping its €75 per bike there and back though!

If IB want that sort of money, I may as well pay the fare difference and fly direct from LCY!

I'm BA silver, so don't know if that helps at all?

Thanks in advance :-)

I just made a booking this afternoon on an OTA for travel on Iberia. It was ticketed shortly after. I just realized I got the travel dates wrong by 1 day.

Does Iberia allow free change or cancellation within 24 hours like a lot of airlines do?

Thanks

Iberia does indeed allow you to amend or cancel FOC within 24 hours of booking, but only if booked through their web page; have done so in the past (I think they also do have this cooling off period for phone bookings).

IB, as with all airlines I guess, will simply not touch a booking made through a TA, at least not at the passenger’s request. I suppose you’ll have to deal directly with the OTA.

Can anyone explain why IB staff are so bloody rude?

I phoned the IB+ people several times earlier this year when changing award bookings. They were some of the nicest CSR's I've ever dealt with. I have no experience yet with the airport staff, but I know that AF's airport people are at the low end of the niceness scale. If the IB people can beat AF, I'll be happy. So far I like what I see.

I just wish IB+ would release some business class award seats rather than letting 6 or more of them go unsold on the flight where I redeemed Blue seats.

And I'm really crossing my fingers that my online exit row seat assignments won't vanish right before I check in. That has me worried, but there's nothing to do about it.

Over the past 12 months I have taken 14 longhaul flights with Iberia, all but 2 were in Economy and I have to say that they are no better or worse than other European airlines.

I have found the staff polite and attentive to requests. I wonder if what is judged as rudeness is a cultural difference. In Europe there isn't the over the top fake politeness of Americans or the encroaching desire to help of the Asians.

I had one case of a flight delay, bad weather in Bogotá and the missed connection couldn't have been handled better. And the one case of lost luggage was handled perfectly as well.

I'm not Spanish and have no link to Iberia, so I am objective and I must say that I do not understand all the bad press they get, industrial action aside.

Looking for info on this as well
I booked a flight on aa.com flying to Madrid on IB and would like to select my seat beforehand. Tried iberia.com, finnair, royal jordanian all to no avail.

My guess based on attempting to assign seats on several reservations with mixed success:
1. The default state of an award reservation allows online seat selection at iberia.com
2. When you choose a seat, a human at Iberia needs to OK the assignment.
3. If that human is trained properly, your selection of an exit row seat will be changed to a non-exit row _and_ the reservation will be locked to prevent any further online seat selection. If that human is not diligent (about 75% of the time in my limited experience), your selection will be approved.
4. Once the reservation is locked, you can give up on getting a different seat.
5. If you select an exit row, that selection will persist until at least T-48 hours without any automated or manual changes by Iberia. Past that I don't know, because I canceled my reservations which had exit row seats. I suspect that these assignments would have held and that I would have gotten them at T-24 when checking in.
