Horrible, they detoured my first flight to Roswell and the communication on why was very poor, We arrive late then waited 20 minutes for them to set up the bridge. I arrived at my connecting flight gate and was told my seat had been given to someone else even though the flight was delayed. We then get to customer service and the computer went down for several hours. The person at the counter was eating their lunch while trying to help me get a flight. Dhe then rebooked on a flight with a connection that was leaving two hours prior to me landing. So I had to then stand in another line to get rebooked. I missed my trip to Morroco and waited 7 days to finally get my luggage. It was a nightmare.
All four segments of my trip on Iberia were late for various reasons. No apparent effort to stay on schedule. Never flying Iberia again.
A more organized boarding experience and better food would have made the experience better.
For what we are willing to pay for international air travel, our experience was very good. We had no problem checking in, we had very little wait time at the AA counter in Madrid, and the staff in Madrid were very helpful. The flight crew was helpful and courteous, the plane was on the newer side, and our assigned seats were together without us needing to purchase them. The flight took off on time and arrived early. Overall, it was a pleasant experience or as much as could be expected in economy for almost 10 hours.
We were delayed 2 hours because the crew was late. They need better planning by the crew, we had to sit in uncomfortable seats waiting for them.
Check in needed to be in person, not nice. Also I won’t do connections in Charlotte again because you need to go through security again and short connections become a problem
I have nothing but great things to say about the crew of the American Airlines flight from Madrid to Dallas. They were fantastic! I do, however, have some disregard for the flight attendant that was late in Dallas, causing us to further delay the boarding of our flight to Portland, and leading to the eventual cancellation of that flight. Because that crew-member was so late, we got caught-up in a weather-related ground stop, eventually causing our pilots to "time-out". So we couldn't get out of Dallas. We would have departed DFW on-time (and before the arrival of the thunderstorm) if not for the lateness of that crew member. The whole time the pilots couldn't tell us whether the flight would be cancelled, and that they couldn't get any information from the airline. By the time we knew the flight was cancelled, all of the flights for the following day were full. So, we didn't even get offered a viable option to get home. The American Airlines customer service desk at DFW was grossly under-staffed. And there were several people who waited in line for four-hours before being helped at that desk. We waited in line for almost 2-hours, until I was able to speak with a customer service agent on the phone (after being on-hold for over an hour). So, once we knew the information about how to get our bag in PDX, and that there weren't any options for flights the next day, we left the line & began searching for another way home. We eventually had to purchase a ticket home on a different airline, in order to get my wife to work on Monday. And we are pursuing a refund of that DFW-PDX leg of the journey. The good news is that the late flight attendant's hair was perfect. And she looked fantastic as she departed the airport & headed back home, while we all hunkered down to sleep in the terminal for the night.
Iberia airlines was late on every flight I had. It was very difficult to communicate in English with iberia airlines and airport employees.
Well my luggage was damaged and they lost the plastic cover. I need to file a claim and I would like for someone to follow up with me on this. Thanks.
Our flight was at 12:30 but we couldn’t check in till 10:30 because there was no staff working. When they finally arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to check in. They definitely need to be prepared at least a few hours ahead of the flight to be able to check people in. We’ve been there since nine in the morning. After we were checked in and went up to the gate, the staff was very nice. We were supposed to leave at 12:30 but we didn’t leave until later. When we arrived at Madrid, we had to run to our gate so we wouldn’t miss our connecting flight. The time that we got to our gate, they were calling last call for the flight. We were all out of breath from running and the lady that was taken our boarding pass and passport to scan before entering the plane was very rude. She told me to stop breathing on her and that she understood it was from running, but it’s a hygiene issue. I was embarrassed and felt degraded. All I could do was look at my husband. He couldn’t believe that she said that, the reason we were breathing hard in the first place was because of her airline that she worked for was late, which caused us almost missed our connecting flight. I was trying to catch my breath from running I couldn’t just stop! The staff on the plane were very polite. We got the premium economy and even though are seats had more room it didn’t look much different from economy. Besides our meals and snacks if we asked for any drinks, we had to pay for extra drinks. We got the same meals as economy. We had to still walk all the way to the back to use the lavatory because we were not allowed to use the one near us because that was for business class. I honestly don’t think it’s worth paying for a premium economy with Iberia. I wanted to do the tax receipt in Madrid from all the purchases we made in Spain and Portugal, but since we had a run our gate, we didn’t have time to do that. I did like that the flight had different meals for my three year old. We probably won’t travel with Iberia again.
