Before you post something, make sure the information is accurate (we are in 2019 - and of course, it was not correct as of January 2018).
  • Malabo and Cali has been discontinued.
  • Asuncion has not seen an IB plane in the XXI century (they did in the XX).
  • Managua was announced but postponed (TBA) due to obvious reasons.
All Iberia mainline, Iberia Express and Air Nostrum (orig/dest MAD) are ok. 50% off Avios in Azul/Full Economy/Premium Economy and Business.

He did try to blame Raffles for it.

List also seems to miss out on San Juan, Puerto Rico.

LOL. To be fair... the problem is actually IBPlus. Navigating through the IbPlus webpage, particularly the flying distance bands, has not been updated for YEARS (among others, I think they still show Luanda).

Yes, Puerto Rico is also missing.

I'm glad my post lead to this thread having relevant & correct information regarding Iberia destinations disseminated by promoting thorough discussion :-)

Credit, not blame !! When I of course thought it was correct :-)

Sorry Raffles, I'm a grass, a snitch....

Hi, before you post something, make sure the information is accurate ;-)

Being ten centuries out of date is rather comical when complaining about out of date information ;-)

However to be fair Asunsion probably didn't see an Iberia plane in the 11th century !!

Anyhow, I'm glad the incorrect information was corrected and I won't take Raffles as the font of all knowledge from now on. Appologies.

No e-mail, but decided to look for availability on a flight ZRH-MAD-XRY in March.

The Iberia site (which incidentally has now suddenly decided to speak to me in French, for some unknown reason) is showing availabilty, but at 12,000 Avios each way, which would appear to be the normal rate.

I wouldn't expect it to work for that itinerary. According to reports elsewhere, the offer is only valid for flights that start or end in MAD. Your itinerary passes through MAD but doesn't start or end there...

Incorrect. I have a BCN-MAD-XXX and YYY-MAD-BCN booked at 50% discount.

The OP's issue is probably an account based outside of Spain.
