Side question about the seats to those who have flown IB in the past. I thought that it used to be the odd numbers that had an actual window seat giving more privacy, however, my seat map actually shows that it's even numbers now where you get a true window seat with table being on the aisle side. Also, my MAD - FCO sector on the return seems to only have 3 rows of Business Class, what are the row 1 seats like? Anyone can confirm?

Anyone has this deducted from the Credit Card. Booked on BA Italy in Euro, amount popped up as requested when I booked. But it disappeared from the pending section and has also not shown up as a booked-through charge, The booking, however, is still fully intact.

Normal. Dont worry about it. Definitely do not phone Iberia to check!

I know its a long shot now, as we still dont know if it will stick, but Ive just realised my MIL-MAD sector is on very inconvenient day - I have a long layover in MAD, so would be happy to skip that first sector and start in MAD. Whats the group consensus on IB respecting Italian regulations regarding protecting sectors on ex-IT itineraries? My ticket was likely issued in the UK (going by the currency paid in) - not sure if that would matter.

Mine is still showing as pending on my Amex, which is normal over a weekend. I'm pretty confident this will be honoured, but no idea what situation we'll be in with quarantines etc come August!

American Airlines Executive Platnuim and redeemable mileage cost
Only if someone is an AAdvantage expert and already did the analysis
It's an academic , moot point as fare is gone according to two sites , but what would the cost per RDM be on AA? And the cost per elite qulifying mile. ? Sure that there will be other fares from SAFEER (health-wise countries) priced higher but still solid values. What did it book in "J" or "below? surprise Executive Platnium not mentioned on this thread as Flyertalk ( while welsoming to all member world wide) is of course a USA - centric site,
Business J 100% 25% 3.00 25%
Business C, D, I, R 100% 25% 2.00 25%

Did anyone manage to copy fare rules for BOG? I've looked INNN1O up on ExpertFlyer, but it don't show up - I didn't know an airline can completely delete the fare from GDS :/

Still showing as confirmed for me on Iberia's MMB. For some reason, Expedia does not have the fare rules anymore either, but I recall when booking it on Expedia that it said the tickets were refundable with a fee of around USD 200 or something.

My confirmation email from IB quotes 60 change and 90 refund fee, which seems like a good deal if it is honoured!
