- 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!
I actually thought my a340 was from 2010 on my iberia flight while was on 2004 😁
New follower love the vid formats.... but regarding the blanket, if you actually need it AND a hoody, it's just too damn cold on the plane!
It seems like the a340-600 struggle to takeoff!
Leonardo Tentella it always seems lazy to do so tbh
lmao I'm in this video
Where 😂
I sat right in front of you and then chatted with you for some of the flight, but you can see me in the cabin overview and you can here my dad talking haha
6:33 Like for LAN
18:15 “Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well...”
don't understand why all these airlines are changing their livery. all the old ones are much better.
Didn’t know that. Thanks!
Fly Delta Airlines from New York JFK To Los Angeles on their Boeing 767-400ER Delta One.
Ryanair:look at me!
Qatar:No look at me I’m covering Ryanair! I’m a Boeing 777! He is a b737
Iberia A340-600: dude it does not matter just stop
Qatar: fine
Ryanair: I’m out of here! U can’t catch me!
Qatar I can I’m faster than u
7:02-7:28
What a story!
The a340s will stay another few years alright
2020 said nope 😭
SkyWide yup
Lufthansa is only bringing back 5 :(
MAD airport is great. Terminal 4 is just amazing, looks great, and walking through it is mesmerizing. Very nice airport for a very nice city. If you have never been to Madrid, you are missing a great city
lol
lol
Iberia still use A340-600 now ?
Yes definitely the old logo is better!
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.
9:50 no ones gonna talk about them WiFi prices wow, 39.99 for 50mb is ridiculous. On emirates for you get 500mb for a very reasonable price and decent speed
Madrid Airport is certainly one of the most beautiful airports around
I am impressed with the take-off run speed, the airbus really enjoying her slowly lift-off 😙
thanks for sharing. The food doesn't look very 'premium' and isn't the best advert for Spanish gastronomy, do you agree?
Hey, great video! I wanted to ask, if you use the Sony RX-100 as a videocamera, and if you would recommend me to get it for my future Flight Experiences. I hope you had a nice flight onboard my country's flag carrier :D
Iberia looks like they do a good job of maintaining their planes!
I was fortunate enough to make that flight in June 2018 on that very same 340, seat 11D. I was impressed with how clean the airplane was despite its age. Service and food was excellent.
I sat on the same seat, same aircraft and same route a month ago!! I loved the flight and the service, tho the A350 is better haha
Recently took Iberia to Madrid and Roma, probably the airline with the best economy service!
This Q re-view is made possible by Coke with ice and a nap over the Atlantic. Nice report with good camera work and editing, definitely worthy of multiple views. Be sure to hit the like and sub buttons. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!
It was good you were at the last row so there is no one behind you when you pull your seat back....Nice
l Love you 😃
I flew on a 340-600 under Lufthansa, I liked that the toilets were downstairs. That poor person right next to the door of the toilet ewww-smells.
Great video Q. I believe that the A340 is the longest plane in the world, isn't it? Take a look how a decent company take advantage of trip reporters like you: ua-cam.com/video/adjwloEtBUg/v-deo.html - Thanks for sharing.
8:05 amazing engine sound, but unfortunately you speed up takeoff just after rotation :(
Ive flown a couple of times from nyc to madrid but ive never actually visited madrid i always went to madrid for a layover to take another plane to portugal since it was cheapier than flying directly from nyc to portugal.Terminal 4 is so beautiful but terminal 1-3 they need to update them as well they look run down.
If remember I think Swiss Air has a major issue of people recording even for "Trip Reports".
Yet again how do you have this much money to afford a $1600+ ticket? Does money grow on trees? What’s so hard in answering what u do for a living?
A340 is meh second favorite aircraft behind A380 made by Airbus
How did the recline of your seat (14L) compare to the other which did not have a bulkhead behind them? I've read that it might be restricted, but it looks fine to me.
Didn’t understand:
What does “Subscribe to PewSiePie mean”?
4:01 Yes! It’s my favorite aircraft!
My favorite aircraft to
Will you fly with Egyptair someday? It’s one of my favorite airlines.
Nice trip report 👍🏻
i still cannot figure out why anyone would give these videos a thumbs down keep up tthe good work man
Lol @ D & B
Hello my friend! Unfortunately Iberia is not phasing out the 346s
Antonio Longás what do you mean “unfortunately”? I love the A340! My fav quad jet 🙌🏼
Insane how much runway they eat up. Climb rate isn't anything to brag about.
you should try the new Egyptair service from DC to Cairo
Damn, what a long T/O run!!!!
la parte donde estaba en la carretera hacia el aeropuerto y nos ensenyo la senyal esa de los paises europeos, en la vandera de bulgaria ponia lithuana pero es bulgaria, lo se porque soy bulgaro......lo siento pero no tengo la enye en el teclado y por eso tengo esos errores...
I’m jealous you’ve been to all the cities I always wanted to visit
18:15 Why did he say "Subscribe to PewDiePie"?
Хорошо видео quintin ты говоришь на русском
1:02 “yeet!”
Air Iberia have a good equipment at the plane no
What a "sausage" plane))
18:15 Airline of My Country 🇮🇳
Wow no tomato juice? Odd
Very very handsome 😍
The way ur either ignoring my questions is also mediocre as a trip reporter
Calm down
Cute A318 at 6:52 ^_^
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?
Kill the muzak ..
Thanks QFS !!
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.
Good trip report but Iberia’s PE product doesn’t really look that great... why can’t other airlines make more of an effort like Virgin Atlantic / Singapore Airlines type Premium Economy?
so naise video loll
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.
The meals looked very mediocre but the A340 cabin seemed quite impressive.
Not to be condescending or disrespectful, but for someone so young, you do quite a professional job *****!
I am concerned about the seat, is it reclining enough?? I will travel from Chile to Madrid in a few months and have the same seat :)
which is your faver airlines to fly on do you listing to music or watch tv movies on board?? just wounder
1700 dollar for this stupid flight..
Booked last minute
That Montana Griz sweater got an instant sub from me!!! Also cheers from Montana lol
Great catch of the Cubana Ilyushin il-96. You would never see one of those in the states unless Putin came for a visit. Lol
hi qman!! great report as always, so much fun to watch! couldn't help but chuckle at 14:00-04. flying in to and of jfk so much have you ever flown over your house? safe travels my friend!
Iberia's PE not exactly like Singapore Airlines Premium Economy. Seems to me economy would have been just as nice.
Great trip report! To me Iberia doesn't excel in any aspect but have good fares. For Premium Economy the seat should recline more!
Ryanair: Hey YT
Qatar: im covering that 737
7:01
What is D?
The 600 is the longest pass aircraft !
Nope, 747-8i is longer
2:15 I can see a TAM over there 😍. Nice video as always mate!!
Lol another TAM 17:26
Oof! They got beat by air Greenland on QFS ratings lol
At 4:05 it just says “c”
Meant to put cup table!
Another great video, its a beauty to watch your videos, love the style, love the music and I admire your passion for aviation at such a tender age. Thank you for the great entertainment, beats others for sure.
The flight looks good..Yeah, it is better to have that long room on the long haul flights....
nice video now I know what airline to fly to spain im from phl so would you have done aa from phl or jfk united from ewr or delta Iberia or air Europa to spain
Хорошее видео
Quite an enjoyable video once the sound was muted as it’s shite music
Going on vacation soon and your videos have been making the days go by fast! Thanks for making the vids. Love them!
Anda tidak pernah mengunjungi negara asia dan mencoba maskapai negara asia
How do you afford all these flights?!
Русский!
Nice work. 😉
Long take off the 340 always being lazy to take off
Flying into JFK is a busy airport in general...
Where dp you find the music do you make it or...
Хороший обзор. А кто спонсирует перелёты, если не секрет? :)
You should fly Norwegian Air Shuttle from Newburgh to Dublin while it's being operated by an Airbus A330 from Evelop Airlines because the Boeing 737 MAX is grounded.
My dad went to Copenhagen in 737 max...
Hella fine! Awesome tunes and footage.
seemed to take forever to get airbourne...
Simply aviation went here.
El logo que ponéis en el vídeo ya esta mas que viejo!
