Just flew with the refurbished 346. (345 AS equipment).
Sat at 25 A, which was a emergency exit.
So row 25 is emergency at the refurbished 346 (345). Iberias Seat map is therefore correct
Keep in mind though, that only the side Blocks offer More legroom.

Is this an A330? If so, I recommend that you take row 10 instead. Unlike the emergency exits, they are not next to toilets, so you avoid people gathering around. Also, you can have floor storage for your things and IFE even during take off and landing.

The route is flown on a 330, yes. How is the legroom in row 10 vs row 27? I'm 6'3", so on overnight flights, sleeping is more important to me than underseat storage.

OK, if you are that tall then the emergency exit may be better for overnight flights. I recommended 10 since I saw it was MAD to ORD (i.e., daytime).
Row 10 is a bulkhead and has significantly more legroom than a normal seat, but obviously much less than 27. I cannot tell you first hand if 27 reclines, though (I expect that it does).

Just booked MAD-LHR for May flight showing as a A330/200. I have sapphire status and according to the Iberia seat map I was able to book 6A and 6C which show as exit row seats .
I hope the Iberia seat map is correct as seatguru shows no Iberia plane with is configuration.
Is there a upto date seat map site anyone uses as I find seatguru way out of date for upto date info.
Thanks

Thanks for that, I will be flying into Madrid on the same day from LAX in Business on the newly refurbished A340-500. So will get to try out 2 new options.

Iberia Express Economy XL
Have a reservation for MAD-SVQ with Iberia Express. Have had a lengthy conversation with Iberia Express Customer Services who have insisted on charging me 14 Euros each to reserve Economy XL Exit Row seats. One Passenger is BA Exec Club Gold (OW Emerald), the other BAEC Silver (OW Sapphire). Iberia Express maintain that if I was an Iberia Plus OW Emerald/Sapphire card holder I could reserve seats free of charge, but as a BA Exec Club OW Emerald/Sapphire I have to pay 14 Euros for each seat.
From everything I see on the IB Express Website, this is wrong, but she checked with her supervisor and insisted she was right and charged my credit card to reserve the seats.
Is this right?
