The staff was very nice and helpful. Some of the best crew I have met.

Disaster. Downgraded. Zero apology. No effort or coordination between gate and crew. Awful seat blocked by door emergency slide box. Iberia is a mess. App never works. Avoid this airline.

It was extremely cold in the back of the plane. The seats are uncomfortable and space very small. Crew was excellent as usual.

It was a wonderful experience with great food, great staff, and no difficulties boarding!

I was in business class for the 8 hour flight where: 1. The WiFi did not work 2. The entertainment system did not work 3. We were told there were no hot drinks for the entire flight

Paid for “extra room” selected seat. Wasn’t a benefit. Also was in aisle and was bumped almost every time attendants walked down aisle. Should have saved the assigned seat money and let them select.

Alaska located my mother, aware that she had mobility issues and they seated her closer to the door. She and I were seated together so I felt more secure to be able to assist her. The desk attendant reviewed what steps to take when boarding. Allowed us to board first, we loved that. I was allowed time to help her board slowly, seat her, put all her things in their place before the crowds came through. These small details made me want to travel Alaska more when possible.

I bought the ticket through Iberian, but I was unable to check in using my code. American wouldn’t let me check in and Iberian counter was closed.

The comfort level was low, but the staff was nice

Bad. Requested a diabetic meal. Was served everything i couldnt eat. So i did not estbthe whole flight dinner / breakfast. Sad and uncomfortable.
