I am slightly hijacking the thread as my question is regarding Y seat...

I am due to fly IB MAD-JFK at end of Jan. The plane is showing A340-500, which as I understand in Iberia language means refurbished A340-600...
Anyway I was able to select seat 14A in the first row (shown as exit row on seatmap on IB's own website) in economy. Is this a good seat or are there better seats? Seatguru only has seatmaps for A340-600/200/300 and none has 14 as exit row. I also googled but to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea?

I was suprised to see the A340-200 back on the JFK route this summer as one of the added demand flights.

Hi all,

Do you know if I am likely to get the new business class seat on the A340's operating the MAD-LIM route? If not, is the old seat an angle lie-flat or a proper one?

Muchas gracias!

Hi all,

Does anybody know which variant of the A340 usually flies LHR-MAD route?

When I look on expertflyer it shows 12 rows of business class, with the first four rows and the window seats on the last row blocked. This leaves 7 rows plus an eighth with only the centre seats. The closest I see to this on seat guru is the 340-600, but even that has only 28 seats vs 30 on expertflyer.

Thanks in advance

So I did a bit more digging and signed up to ExpertFlyer. It says these flights are operated by an A340-500, which according to this thread is the re-fitted aircraft with the new seats. Hope this helps someone else!

I wouldn't bet money on that. According to:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/IBE6651

It's at least currently still a mix of 343's and 346's...

Another retrofitted A346 has left the hangar, EC-IZY.
Only 5 A346 still have the old configuration and one of those is currently in the hangar, so only 4 of them are currently flying.

Are you sure there are not two in the hangar (+12 already retrofitted)?
That would leave only three aircraft operating with the old configuration.

Hi. Does anyone know whether IB6827 MAD-GRU (the overnight flight) has the old business class or the new? Seatguru is showing it as the old. Thanks.

We would need your flight date because on that flight they are currently alternating 342s (old J) with 345s (new J) so it all depends on which day you are flying.

Thanks. It's on Saturday the 28th of March - 0:35 departure. I wound up booking the flight, and the seat map showed staggered outside seats - which led me to believe it's new

Yes. As of now it is the new aircraft but keep checking back to see if there is a swap. That said, with the number of 342s dwindling it becomes less likely with each passing week that you will get one of them.

Hi, booked on MAD-BUE on Apr 13 (day flight IB 6845) and seat map indicates the old seat ? That would be quite a disappointment...is there hope for a change ?

Thanks, dutch and post. Very helpful. I don't suppose there's any recourse for an equipment switch (similar to the Avios bonus BA give you if you wind up in old First)
