Iberia Economy class seat comfort reviews

Iberia A340-600 Economy Class Seat Review  - 20 September 2011 by Andres Martin (UK)

Extremely poor seats. New plane and feeling I was flying a 1970s plane. In-flight entertainment was short of non- existent and seat more cramped than smaller planer I used.

A new airplane and very poor onboard entertainment - two main screens in the cabin, a couple of music channels. On a 13 hour flight, it is not acceptable in 2010!

Seat very hard and seat depth seemed to short to provide adequate thigh support. I found it impossible to sleep on a long haul flight because of the hardness of the seat.

Iberia seems to have fallen asleep with their interior design. Their A340-600s are practically new, but they remain in decades in the past when it comes to passenger comfort. The seats are extremely cramped, with low headrests and almost no legroom. There's no in-flight entertainment worth mentioning (a few screens in the central row) and the audio controls are located at the least convenient spot.

11 hour flight Madrid - Havana, very difficult to move into the aisle, very narrow. Also, incredibly uncomfortable to sleep and to watch the age-old tv's, which were only mounted in the very middle of the cabin. flight!

MAD-LIM & GIG-MAD Both flights were on planes that seemed to be out of the 1970's, with decor to match. My partner's chair had an armrest that was falling off and a tray that didn't open fully. The legroom for anybody other than a young child is very tight flight!

I have flown long haul with many airlines and Iberia has to be the worst. The cabin seemed old and tired with old poor quality TVs spread sparsely through the cabin showing low budget films - service was poor, food was bad and had a very uncomfortable flight!

IBERIA ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 7 February 2009 by Nicolas Clement  (Spain)

Exit row 22L and 22J on Iberia A340-300. Excellent legroom unlike directly of cabin divider on row 8. Bathrooms were an annoyance even if people did not use the exit row to congregate (ceiling too low). Curtains had never been used to dim the lights coming out of the bathroom and cabin crew rudely instructed me that these were not to be used because they need to move around. Cabin crew comfort gets priority then. Seat comfort was poor because of it being quite hard and unclean. Seat was offered with a good recline but slowly went up all the time. Movies were on ceiling mounted 70's TV sets. Will never fly them long-haul again if not on rock bottom fares.

IBERIA ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 24 December 2008 by Ole Bang  (Denmark)

The legroom was reduced from Poor to Very Poor, due to the construction of the seat pocket, which is made up of a heavy duty steel frame holding the seatpocket. In both sides it angles out in a way, which made it almost impossible to move my legs, or stretch them in any but one position. No personal video screen, just a large monitor in the center of the cabin, folding down from cabin roof, like in the 70's. I spend more than 4 hrs standing in the aisle / walking around; since it was too painful to sit still watching the mandatory movie.

MAD-MUC-MAD. Both flights with extremely poor leg space, even my knees topped on the seat in front (and I'm only 1,63m)

IBERIA ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 18 September 2008 by A Casini  (Italy)

Flight MAD-BIO and return, brand new plane featuring new seats with back shaped to allow legs, but the seat pitch was absolutely ridiculous. I am 6'2" so am used to reduced pitch, but that was the most cramped of my life.
