"Well done, Iberia"

(Spain)

Trip Verified | I bought a last minute ticket in Economy and went for a paid upgrade at the airport for a reasonable price. Only hand baggage as this was a short trip. There were two male attendants really friendly and competent. Service started soon. Marinated sardines were just ok, but pork tenderloin and profiteroles were really tasty. The only drawback was that there was no wifi available during the flight. Never mind, I could still work on my laptop, and leave Instagram for when I disembark. I would repeat the experience without hesitation. Well done, Iberia.

"good and comfortable flight"

(Switzerland)

Trip Verified | A good and comfortable flight on Iberia's Business Class from Madrid to Zurich. Excellent food, squids with black rice and a very good and attentive service for beverages as well. Unfortunately, the connectivity with wifi was not available. I recommend this airline on this route.

“Poor service”

(France)

Trip Verified | Poor service. Flight delayed, made me board in last group having a pet (stressing out in the boarding area). Very dirty seats, no one had cleaned. Poor crew cabin service. Also, most options in the paying menu during the flight were unavailable. I asked for three different products that they had run off at the very beginning of the flight. Made us wait 1 hour for the luggage.

"Nice seats and clean aircraft"

(France)

Trip Verified | Day flight to Brazil. Quick check-in Good and healthy food. Nice seats and clean aircraft. On time all the way. Empty seats were occupied during the flight by some friends of the crew coming from Economy class. It was common in the 80s and 90's.

“a reasonable experience”

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | This review is for a flight I took with Iberia from London Heathrow to Madrid in early January 2024. I want to first focus on the positives! Iberia were superb in communicating with me via text messages for checking-in and information about a strike in Spain. Check-in was efficient and a friendly uniformed staff member was at hand to assist passengers. It was however, disappointing to encounter a staff member who would not check my bag through to the final destination. I had two tickets and gained the impression that the agent just could not be bothered, alas. The flight was on an A330, I noted that some Business passengers were annoyed as boarding was not well regulated and as such there was something of a scrum! Some passengers were allowed to take far too much luggage into the cabin. The cabin-crew were neatly dressed but kept a very low-key profile during the flight. One gripe for me was that seats were available to select for an extra fee online just like a budget airline. The ticket was expensive enough without being fleeced to pay for a seat. No I come to the major flaw. NO EMERGENCY Procedure took place! No demonstration at all not even a recorded video. I liked the inflight entertainment and found the seat on the A330 to be spacious for a 2 hour flight. Disembarkation was orderly and well managed and it was nice to see the crew being proactive. Overall, a reasonable experience! My bag was delivered efficiently and quickly after landing.

"tried online check in, we were separated"

(Greece)

Trip Verified | Even though with the tickets I bought I was supposed to choose my seat and the seats of my family (and I did so when I purchased them so as we could seat altogether as a family) when we tried online check in, we were separated. And the online help from the company, did not help as at all with this. Also when we checked our luggage the lady at the counter was extremely rude, even though we had a 4 year old child with us.

"wait 2 days for the next flight"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Iberia is the worst company to fly with. I needed a method to travel to and from the UK with a dog and I called Iberia several times to confirm that I can travel with my dog in cabin to which they confirmed. On the way to Spain the first plane was delayed by 3 hours due to a fault with the plane and the tow trucks and it only got worse from there. We missed our flight and had to wait 3 hours in a queue to get to a customer service desk with only 2 people working, for a queue of at least 700 people. I ended up at my destination 10 hours late. On the way back it was far worse. After waiting 2 hours for the check-in to open and another hour to be seen by one of the 3 clerks (one of which was for the express queue) we finally got through 45 minutes before the flight. while waiting for the flight the gates changed several times (i believe 6 changes in total but it could have been more) and the flight departed over an hour late. Admittedly this was due to something that was beyond their control but once we arrived in Madrid we had to wait 4 hours in a queue to talk to the customer service team who ended up sending us to the customer service desk in the departure lounge. After another 2 hours we got to the desk and explained the situation to which the service rep refused to believe I didn't know that the dog had to go into cargo. Only after I began playing the recording of my conversations with their sales team did she realise I wasn't lying and tried her best to get me on a flight to as close to my final destination, but she had no clue and I had to come up with suggestions. Eventually her colleague suggested Manchester airport but I would have to wait 2 days for the next flight and had to stay at a hotel. I arrived at Madrid Airport at 13:35 and arrived at my hotel at 22:10. On the day of my final flight everything did go smoothly but I did have to spend an extra £77 just to get to my original airport. Also they only offered me £77.60 as compensation.

“Excellent experience”

(Australia)

Not Verified | After reading reviews here I wa very apprehensive to travel on Iberia. From check in to baggage collection the flight was great! No waiting at check in, easy boarding, left on time, arrived early, easy baggage collection. Excellent experience.

"Terrible customer service"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Terrible customer service. Iberia changed only the 2nd leg of a 3 leg flight by 24 hours. Did not attempt to change the connecting flights. They had me flying out of Dallas before I arrived in Dallas. Customer service was no help. I finally had to work with American Airlines (partner airline) to resolve the issue. Additionally, Iberia refuses to refund money I paid for seat upgrades on the original flight. I have called them multiple times and a refund is always promised, but never delivered. It seems they just tell me that I will receive a refund to get me off the phone, but never really intend to follow through. Partnership with American Airlines is a joke. The answer is always call American, or call Iberia. It appears no shared data, at all. Cumbersome website. I will not fly Iberia again.

"customer service is a mess"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I paid for extra legroom and my flight was changed three times, and each time my extra legroom was dropped. I called the day before the flight to get a boarding pass with extra legroom seats, but the next day they had changed my seats again and there was no extra legroom. I filed for a refund, which they screwed up and refunded $8 for incidentals rather than the $165 I paid. App is broken, web site is extremely buggy, and customer service is a mess. I will never fly Iberia again.
