@Gordon, you might feel differently if you’d booked 4/5 trips with them and they moved all your positioning flights by 8 hours! Okay, the only trip that’s been really messed up is my Lanzarote holiday in October, but the headache is very real, lol.
Most people’s positive experiences of Iberia relate to long haul. The domestic network (overall Europe’s largest) is complex and the interrelationship between Iberia, Iberia Express and Air Nostrum is also rather messy. The first two are sort of the same, but not quite the same and Air Nostrum is not part of the IAG group so adds another dimension even as a contractor doing what it’s told. There are also slot issues at MAD for which domestic and short haul flights are deprioritised. For these and probably many other reasons, the short haul schedule and particularly domestic schedule has always been quite fluid right up to the start of the new IATA season.
The other Iberia issue I have often mentioned is that they see 261 as optional and make BA seem like pussy cats. Talking of which, I’m not a cat fan, but do I hope yours makes a good recovery.
