I had two amazing experiences in Iberia's A350 Premium Economy and Business Class recently to JFK and EZE. I expected the worst and turned out to be absolutely great. Food, amenities, crew, and seats were more than decent!
It looks like Iberia is upping their game, which is great to see. I booked a business class trip from SEA to MAD for August of this year and I hope I get to fly in this new plane!
Iberia is probably the best ratio quality-price company. Nice service, excelent food, and one of the companies with less accidents. By the way, Iberia was the second most punctual airline in Europe and fifth in the world . It has improved a lot in the last years.
Thank you for making a report on Iberia, it’s one of the airlines that doesn’t get reported on very often so I really appreciate it. btw I’m from Spain so thanks again ❤
Another great video- Thanks! If I recall correctly, IB has center overhead bins in Y in the older a350s, so their absence is a change here. And I'm not sure why, but that eye mask is the best I've ever used-including ones from first class amenity kits and ones I've bought.
Useful trip report, thanks! Unfortunately the "fleet inconsistencies" will remain a while yet, with only six aircraft featuring this cabin. Crossing fingers for my A350 flight this time next week 🤞
Thanks for your informative and top notch aviation video. I am really impressed with Iberia the Spanish Airline with their latest aircraft and sumptuous banquet for Business Class passengers. Hope they become well known like the top three Middle Eastern airlines by flying to more destinations in Asia 🌏 also. Your video quality is brilliant and complemented by your commentary in an elegant English accent. Please keep up your high standards in such content creation. ❤
Nice , did you have to deal with their customer service or lack thereof? They may be more attentive if you're in BC or maybe not. This product looks ace , they fly the old 330's out of Boston and the BC is not up to snuff. You are one of the better presenters on YT travel NQAT mate.
Nice video! Are the odd numbered seats close to the window or the even numbered seats close to the window? Also does the bulk head seat have a larger foot well?
Great video thank you! We are travelling with a 2 year old toddler in November, we’ve chosen seat 3E and 3G, are those ok when travelling with kids do you think?? Thank you 🙏🏻
Hello Im trying to book 2 business seats from the US to Madrid, however I have looked at 10 flights from different airports like JFK, BOS, ORD, and the seat chart only shows window seats as options. The middle 2 seats are not visible at all. Do you have any insight?
Nice report - I have to confess, however, that a comment about how ‘chaotic’ Latin American airports are might be seen by some as unnecessary at best (0:45). The terminal didn’t appear to me any more chaotic than most. A ‘depressing sea of mahogany’ at the entrance to the business class lounge? Seriously? (2:07)
@@thedesignairvideo adding to the above feedback, I like your videos too but I appreciate low volume, or calmer music, like lofi. Or even no music. Lately, I find myself watching fewer videos where creators feel the need to constantly hype you up at every opportunity especially since I'm watching to unwind. Thanks :)
Disappointed about your comments about Latin American airports, it’s unfair to generalize. I invite you to come to see Costa Rica’s Juan Santamaría airport and time how much it takes to get to your outbound flight’s gate.
Have you asked the crew about their permission to film them? Allow me to have my doubts. Are you respecting their rights to privacy ? Are they ok with being shown on a YT video for the entire world to see? It's good to examine their level of service for which you've paid, but what about your level of respect for others?
It’s a good question and of course I check with all crew before showing clear faces. It’s important for me to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable with these films
well, a great new cabin and fine service too! my experience with Iberia BC is not that good (many flights to/from Havana after the loss of direct flights from Ams): let me say, lazy, uninterested crew so bad service, even though I do speak Spanish a lot...
Whatever the planes are like the staff are truly dreadful. They abandoned me in Madrid, put me (a business class passenger) in a dreadful hotel which didn’t even have a bar, or tea making facilities , just vending machines and the attitude of the staff on the ground and in the air was appalling. You can really tell this is a sister airline of British Airways. Both airlines are a disgrace to their national flags.
Every flight I’ve taken with Iberia in all classes they offer have been horrific. Late/canceled flights, lost luggage, rude/uninterested flight attendants, dirty aircraft, inedible food. I gladly take Air France, British or Lufthansa instead. I will NEVER fly Iberia again.
I had two amazing experiences in Iberia's A350 Premium Economy and Business Class recently to JFK and EZE. I expected the worst and turned out to be absolutely great. Food, amenities, crew, and seats were more than decent!
Glad you had a nice trip! We'll have a premium economy report coming out at some point... watch this space!
Excellent report. And one of the very rare reports on a good Iberia crew..usually they disappear after service and are never seen again before landing
yep

I Hope Iberia Will Install Suites With Doors In The Rest Of The Wide Body AirCraft.Great Trip Report
Thank you so much!

The burgundy t-shirt guy was stalking you. He managed to squeeze himself into what looked like every frame :)

Our pleasure! I'm glad you found it! Muchos Gracias!
De nada! Thanks again 😊@@thedesignairvideo
Excellent experience with tempting food, especially the Chocolate Brick 😊
It was amazing, the ceviche was pretty impressive too
I can say, that this trip report is one of my favourite ones, definitely in my top 10! ( i watched like 500+ of these videos )
Wow, thanks! Really appreciate the comment! Hope you spread the word!
Another clear and informative video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow !! Seems like Iberia has really improved. Nice to see, thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for the kind comments!
Excellent review! The Next cabin looks so awesome! :)
A thoroughly superb and enjoyable video, as always👌🏻

Yes, it feels so spacious in comparison!
Great video and review, hopefully will fly the A350 one day
You should!
Great video. Looks like lovely hard and soft products from an airline with not the best of reputations. Really enjoy your posts👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Great video, that chocolate slice looked tasty! :) I need to try Iberia one day.
Thank you very much for this video. I'll fly Iberia A350 business tomorrow, MAD-LIM.
How was the flight?
@@thedesignairvideo it was a great experience, the flights, the attendants and the Velasquez-Lounge in Madrid. Next Saturday I'll fly back
ive tried iberia long time ago it was really bad but this one so great everything the cabin the set the food
Useful trip report, thanks! Unfortunately the "fleet inconsistencies" will remain a while yet, with only six aircraft featuring this cabin. Crossing fingers for my A350 flight this time next week 🤞
Fingers crossed! Let me know which one you get...!
such a cuuutie! Excellent video, merci bcp!

Comments like this really do mean a lot! Thank you for the kind words! Hope you have subscribed!
such lovely reviews, thank you! Do Turkish airline's 777's next, the one with the old school business class please.
wow this is a solid review
Thank you so much
Grrreat flight review! May I ask what's that song you used in 9:45? I couldn't shazam it! Thanks :)
Nice coverage
Thanks a lot 😊
Excellent video
In 2024, is not business class if the business class doesnt have sliding door. ;) Nice review,

They’ve been Very slow to roll this out. It seems like they’re not interested in retrofitting any existing aircraft.
do they serve drink and snack before main meal? I dont like when they jump to main meal service unless if its late flight

IBERIA GRANDEZA ESPAÑOLA.
1:35 MEX is probably one of the worst airport in LatAm, terminal 1 especially. Try SJO for a nice experience.
I have to say I thought Qatar airlines business class was a lot better, especially on long haul flights .
Not in case of food
The h in "hola" is silent
The terminal looks tired? So do you. Don't be so critical like that whiny Swedish dude.
Doors are too low. No privacy as on Qatar QSuites
Nice review but the music is overpowering
Thanks for the feedback, i will for sure take it into consideration for future videos

IB J is a pretty poor product, but far its standard is the incredible selection of Spanish language IFE.

I have the same feeling with KLM
oh yes, I do agree!@@FranciscoCamino
@@tjittekamminga5170 Needless to say most coach class experiences in all airlines suck!!!.
The food looks horrible

lol, "hollar" jesus christ cringe. and imagine calling that dried out 60C internal temp salmon "perfectly cooked" d'oh
