Airline reviews

Boarded in group three at Barcelona, which meant going from a gate outside onto a bus to ride across the airport to a plane waiting on the tarmac. When we arrived at the plane, crew behavior told us something was wrong. Bus driver would not let us off for almost twenty minutes, despite being crammed shoulder to shoulder. Eventually, we got onto the plane, but were then told that someone “forgot” to refuel the plane and the truck to do so had not arrived. We departed late enough that we missed our connecting train in NYC, which was the last train of the evening, so we had to stay awake all night in the passenger waiting area of Amtrak’s Penn Station, which was almost impossible to get to because the station was now closing, as it was after midnight. We had to haul four suitcases a few blocks on city streets in the rain to get to the one remaining open entrance to Penn Station. We ended up being up for 36 hours straight because someone couldn’t do their job. Never, ever again would I fly this airline.

Very nice staff, terrible food, not very comfortable premium economy.

Boarding, crew, food and baggage handling excellent (no bags lost, yay!). However for an 8 hour flight, there were limited entertainment options. And really would have liked to have a pillow!

Flight to get to Barcelona was cancelled and then the next flight was overbooked. Cancelled the entire trip and went elsewhere. Fighting with iberia to get my money back. Ill never book this carrier again!

temperature was too cold there should be free blankets, seat are very uncomfortable, entertainment is limited.

It was hidden that I needed a special fee to bring my guitar on. They charged me an extra 69 euros at the gate and did not refund me the checked bag I paid for and the over head bag I paid for which I didn't use because I had to pay for the special guitar case. Criminal behavior. They were very unkind about it as well. Terrible experience. I'd like my money back for the extras I paid for.

Basic service for a decent price, all amenities are à la cart

Horrible experience airline crew was unprofessional. Flight was delayed. Suit cases did not arrive. Never flying iberia again

Chairs do not recline. Finished the trip with an aching back.

Amazing, would 100% recommend flying with Iberia when going to Europe
