Iberia Y Class Seat Question
An admittedly very specific and perhaps esoteric question...but if there's anyplace that someone might be able to help, it's at Flyertalk.
I am considering flying BOS-MAD later this week on Iberia. They've just inaugarated a new nonstop. I could alternatively go through LHR on AA and do an upgrade. However the Iberia flight is very very open in Y, as it is the first few days of the new service. I have a severe spine problem and wanted to lie down across 4 seats in the center (about 15 rows seem avaialable from looking at seatmaps). Does anyone know whether Iberia Y on an A340 has the type of seat arms that can be raised up, thus permitting one to lie down? I noticed a cabin picture that showed a double seat armrest in the center of the four seats, and thus I was concerned that maybe they don't swivel up or, alternatively, pull out.
Thanks so much.

with the exception of the first row, everywhere else you can raise the seat arms in Y
