The flight from Madrid to Boston was awful. Without prior warning, I was seated in the row in front of an exit row where my seat did not recline. The person in front of me reclined, reducing my already tiny space further. This was the WORST flight I've ever had.
This is where i leave an airline review. Test test test!
I liked the comfort of the plane. It was unexpected from past experiences.
business class food was pretty average otherwise it was a good experience
Today, this flight was great. It was on time and comfortable unlike the one on Friday July 12th that was canceled after a very long delay at the airport. Our flight to Newcastle 2 weeks previous was also canceled and the one that flew us to Newcastle, the next day, left Heathrow after it should have arrived in Newcastle. We heard of othe cancelations on this route. BA needs to fix/address this unreliable route.
My trip with Iberia was an absolute nightmare! We arrived at the airport excited for our trip, only to be told our carry-on would be checked for free due to a full flight. Then, they couldn't even print our boarding passes for the connecting flight! The mad dash through security and the train left us breathless, only to be met with confusion at the gate - apparently, they "lost" us in the system and boarded the plane without us, luggage and all! Stuck in Madrid with nothing but the clothes on our backs, we were promised our bags would magically appear at our final destination. Shockingly, they didn't. The next day, we flew home with nothing but frustration and a lingering question: where were our suitcases? Even worse, this ordeal seems to be all too common for Iberia passengers! The hotel staff, used to dealing with stranded Iberia customers, shared stories of countless passengers facing similar luggage nightmares. This whole experience left me feeling stranded, frustrated, and completely dissatisfied with Iberia's service.
Our flight was at 12:30 but we couldn’t check in till 10:30 because there was no staff working. When they finally arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to check in. They definitely need to be prepared at least a few hours ahead of the flight to be able to check people in. We’ve been there since nine in the morning. After we were checked in and went up to the gate, the staff was very nice. We were supposed to leave at 12:30 but we didn’t leave until later. When we arrived at Madrid, we had to run to our gate so we wouldn’t miss our connecting flight. The time that we got to our gate, they were calling last call for the flight. We were all out of breath from running and the lady that was taken our boarding pass and passport to scan before entering the plane was very rude. She told me to stop breathing on her and that she understood it was from running, but it’s a hygiene issue. I was embarrassed and felt degraded. All I could do was look at my husband. He couldn’t believe that she said that, the reason we were breathing hard in the first place was because of her airline that she worked for was late, which caused us almost missed our connecting flight. I was trying to catch my breath from running I couldn’t just stop! The staff on the plane were very polite. We got the premium economy and even though are seats had more room it didn’t look much different from economy. Besides our meals and snacks if we asked for any drinks, we had to pay for extra drinks. We got the same meals as economy. We had to still walk all the way to the back to use the lavatory because we were not allowed to use the one near us because that was for business class. I honestly don’t think it’s worth paying for a premium economy with Iberia. I wanted to do the tax receipt in Madrid from all the purchases we made in Spain and Portugal, but since we had a run our gate, we didn’t have time to do that. I did like that the flight had different meals for my three year old. We probably won’t travel with Iberia again.
Good. Madrid to SFO was way better than ARN to Madrid. Mercifully, the seats to Madrid didn't recline. So although there was no leg room, your knees didn't get crushed
All went smoothly, no problems; friendly crew. I would have appreciated a head pillow ;)
Never made this flight it was unconfirmed by Iberia according to American Airlines This trip was a total nightmare, got to the airport in Wed March 8th after confirming all flights, only to be told by American Airlines that we are not confirmed on the flight. We met a pretty rude and unhelpful AA check in agent by the name of Ali. American said it was not their problem, contact Kayak/Chatdeal and sort out your issue.Chatdeal said all flights were confirmed and it is the airlines fault. So it went, we were kicked between American, Kayak and Iberia spending hrs on the phone- all said it is not their fault.Spent 9 hrs in the airport on Wed 15th trying to sort out. Luckily, we met a really nice AA agent Shawnna G who went way beyond the call of.duty to help us out. We were put the next day on Thurs 16th from DfW to San Paulo Brazil the onto Madrid!! Imagine that..10000 miles and 20hrs of travelling to get to Madrid from Dallas!! Our trip took 3 days to get there ..Wed 8th Thurs 9th and Fri 10th.Got there on Sat 11th, so lost 2 days of our vacation and a lot of emotional and physical stress on our 2 kids travelling with us.
