Iberia Avios QnA
I swear, IB Avios had never had so much attention because you'd just transfer out. Lets have a QnA session so at least half the threads in the future would be answered here.
I'll try to get this into a sticky... Unable to make a desired Avios reservation Q1.

I will be repeating this comment dozens of times over the next few months...
Iberia agents often don't know what they are doing and reply with "the flight is not available". HUACA as many times as you can bear before booking whatever you can manage online... Oneway Awards- IB and BA metal only. Q3. Open Jaw Awards- Call and hope you get an agent who knows what on earth is happening. Q4. Moving Avios to BAEC/AerClub regaring the 9000 Avios Promo It's currently not possible since 3/Jul. Cancellation Policy Q5.

It doesn't really exist. It is only mentioned during the booking process.
You pay 25 euros (or local equivalent) to change or cancel a reward on BA/IB (edit: i believe only within the first 24 hours). Everything else is non-refundable and non-changeable.

This works but this is only available on BA/IB. It is not generalizable to other partner bookings.

Just to confirm; I have found a reward flight for my bonus avios however at the moment availability is only in economy. The flights are BA metal only.
If I book this and a higher class becomes available can I change it and just pay the change fee (plus any additional avios obviously) like with BA or do IB have different terms? |
I should change my username to Iberia Plus Lurker. :D @LupineChemist, @Yllanes and a few others should do the same...
It probably would be a good idea to have a sticky wiki... But I know those FTers more used to the BA forum are quite fond of starting their own thread each time they have a question. |

Does anyone know whether IB+ ignores availability of Business award seats on BA flights within the UK? I am trying to book some flights between LHR and GLA and on the BA site, business seats are available on almost every flight, whereas on the IB+ site no business seats are available. Then to confuse the matter when booking BA flights to Europe, business seats are as available as they are on the BA site? Curious as to whether calling IB support will be of assistance? BTW - the main reason for booking business is for the luggage capacity due to international travel.

That could hv been a simple technical issue- like how we cant book pe on cx or jl |
Is IB award release the same as BA? Ie 355 days out at 00:00 GMT? |

the other one asked a few times (even in the right thread!)
Q7. Iberia Plus Hotline phone number (for skype) 0203 684 3774. When asked what do you want to do, mention "Iberia Plus Bookings" otherwise it can easily go to (cash) sales. |
Should Avios redemption rates be the same on BA and IB if flying BA metal? I see on this thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/iber...-ib-vs-ba.html that Iberia and BA websites are charging different amounts of Avios for redemptions on the same flights between LHR and SIN, and that is how I also planned to use my bonus Avios. |
To clarify the award charts, when looking at a partner award chard I need to add up the outbound AND inbound leg distances to get the distance for what I need? E.g. BOM-DOH-FRA the distance required would be BOM-DOH-FRA-DOH-BOM or just BOM-DOH-FRA, as only round-trips are permitted are all distances already priced as if it's a round trip based on one-way distance? Does that even make sense?

does iberia release any more last minute inventory closer to departure if seats aren't sold? the flights i was eyeing have since been sold out thanks to 2 week delay in getting avios. debating if i should punt and go for a diff travel plan completely.. was hoping to go to oktoberfest. flying out of SFO and last outbound flight is 9/28 so i have to find a diff flight back anyways. i snagged the last econ blue class on 9/24.
is seat selection allowed for economy? |
