Reply To: BA 2-4-1 – Iberia Airlines – South/Central America

[David D]

@Jumpfrog: You should take a look at booking MAD – LIM flying Iberia (and booking a separate easy Jet from LHR – MAD) instead of starting from LHR. A quick search on BA.com using 241 shows this is much cheaper as starting in MAD avoids UK charges – see dummy booking below – this is for Off peak April 2024 so not matching your dates but Peak return is I believe 125k avios instead of the 85k (option 1 below):

Dummy booking:
Offpeak
Madrid to Lima Peru
11 to 29 April 2024
Business return x 2 people

Avios required Cost taxes/charges
1 85,000 428.40
2 72,300 728.40
3 55,300 1,068.40
4 42,500 1,408.40
5 29,800 1,748.40
6 17,000 2,088.40

This means for 85k Avios and £428.40 in total you would get 2x bus class return flights. Much cheaper than 162k + £1050.
