Great news for flights to non-LHR destinations in the UK. Though the 40 Elite Points for a UK domestic connection in economy on BA is quite nice.
The Italian destinations will come in very handy as well.

Yes, though Tenerife flight is to TFN which is less popular in UK market. Not sure I'd fancy 4 hrs in Y on I2 with 28" seat pitch though, and I'm not very tall.

I would have no hesitation flying I2 for 4 hours in C or Y.

Departing from the South terminal. Am on the LGW-MAD on 2nd April in J, and haven't been able to get an answer from Iberia Express as to whether any lounge access arrangement will be in place. Does anyone know? I will report back after the flight.

Access was given to the No 1 Traveller lounge in LGW South. It was rather crowded though, but good for a quick refreshment. The meal in J onboard was impressive for IB Express and the crew did a great job.
