MIA has been seeing A350s semi-regularly since last year, and particularly since November. It's not scheduled to happen, but does happen quite a bit as last minute swaps. In April alone, the daily 6117/8 rotation has seen the A350 12 times. This is the rotation that most often gets the A350, but the earlier one occasionally does too.

Aircraft aren't assigned to routes - in other words, just because IB has received a few more A350s, and MIA receiving A350s, doesn't mean that it would necessarily receive the new frames. All A350s, so far, have the same cabin anyway.

It feels like IB has some staff whose responsibility it is to play rough as possible with new deliveries as pretty much all of them feel just slightly scuffed up even when you get one that's only a couple months old

A350 is nice. I fly A330 quite a bit out of ORD. 330’s are getting a bit haggard.
bathrooms are horrible at times.

I board tonight at MIA for MAD, but they don’t say what terminal. Does anyone know where I check in for MIA-MAD? I assume it’s walkable to the flagship lounge.
Im guessing Terminal E. The Mia airport guide lists “C” but I don’t think there is a C

Yeah, I've always had MIA from E. And you can walk to the train over there from the Flagship Lounge so if you have a few extra minutes it's easily worth it to use FL over whatever it is IB contracts (I honestly don't even know)

MIA is spread into three terminals: North, Central and South.
North is Concourse D, Central is Concourse E & F (maybe G?), and South is G (?), H and J.
Iberia uses the AA lounge in D (D30), it's a 5-10 minute walk from check-in to D30, and about 10-12 minutes from D30 to the gate (you need to walk back pretty much to check-in, double back on yourself, take the escalator up and take a short train ride over to the E satellite.
