  • Welcome to another trip report!
    On April 19, I flew Iberia in Premium Economy on one of their aging A340-600s from Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
    Iberia's premium economy cabin is in a 2-3-2 configuration. The overall experience was quite mediocre, but nothing was extremely bad.
    I hope you enjoy the trip report!

    That A340 looked immaculate for it's age! I've never been on one but it looked like a great ride. I'll have to hurry before they are all replaced!

    It's been awhile since i have flown Iberia - frequent flier in the 70's, 80's. One of the things that i do recall about them was on their transatlantic flights, prior to departure, they would walk around with a tray of candies. It was to help with the change in air pressure?
    They would also give a red rose to the female passengers in first - nice touch.

    5:36 those are called k-loaders (no clue why) they load/unload the cargo in cargo bins or palates. Top peice raises up to cargo door then the cargo rolls on the bottom peice that will lift up and be loaded/unloaded. Just a friendly bit of knowledge for ya.

    As you were settling into your seat area,I noticed a fellow avgeek in the row directly in front of you.The -600 series' engines,have always loved their sound on takeoff--interesting that Iberia has a gate at the BA terminal at JFK,it would make sense since both carriers are members of the oneworld alliance--during your lavatory tour,thought it amusing that you are thousands of miles from home,flying on a Spanish airline yet wearing clothing that displays 'Montana'. How did you get home from JFK?

    I got to fly Virgin’s A340-600 from ATL to LHR a few years back, and it was stunning! I was fortunate enough to fly upper class, and the service was impeccable and the plane was even better! Coming from an airbus hater, the A340 is my favorite airbus. Great video btw

    I have flown on Iberia's A340s a couple of Times LAX-MAD round trip and once MUC-LAX with Luftansa. Iberia's A340s felt older and tired but their crew was sooo chill I actually enjoyed my trips with them. with Luftansa the cabin felt newer and the plane felt spacious but I look forward to the A350s.

  • @philipdoyle3155

    Great to see the Qantas 787 that does the Jfk lax ( then Bne) link connecting with the A380 flights to Syd and Mel. I’ve flown a lot through Spain. So strange that they form a queue to board so long before actual boarding. As if the plane might leave with out them. Great video as always although the trademark toilet bowl shot is unusual.
