Iberia peak / off peak dates

[Simey]

Hi all,

Anyone knows where I can find IB Avios charts or something similar? Any date I found so far for dummy bookings seems to be at peak rate – and no real calendar was found online.

I’m sure it’s been included in previous HFP articles about peak dates, I don’t think there’s been one for 2024 though.

In Google images I can see a picture of the 2022 calender, which will give you a good idea of the dates. They are quite a bit different from BA.

As a side note – why would 2024 dates not be available? The year is 2/3 over – what kind of decision making would lead to this? Genuinely curious..

I’ve no idea. But when I booked earlier this year, the peak dates were different from last year and eg Madrid to Lima, almost the entire month of September was peak, which I don’t think it was last year. The only way I could check was to look at each week/month. Couldn’t find any other way to find the data.

This explains why no BA dates https://www.headforpoints.com/2023/07/25/2024-british-airways-peak-and-off-peak-avios-flight-dates/

This is how to get the Iberia ones if it still works – https://www.headforpoints.com/forums/topic/iberia-peak-and-off-peak-dates-2024/

Was the difference between peak / off-peak large? Any dummy dates I try, they always come back the same, so I am unsure if it’s peak or off peak. I’m leaning towards off-peak as it’s closer to 2022 chart but its just a guess.

Would the first article have any impact on Iberia? Sorry if that’s a dumb question.

For 2nd – I’d need a VPN, don’t have that right now!

@Simey, No, just thought it was an interesting article, yet more ways to piss off customers.

And you don’t need a VPN, just go to the web page and change your location once logged into your Iberia account.

If you go here when logged in, you can see it – not sure why this was so hard..

Whether this is up to date, I am unsure.. you’d like to hope so though!

[Simey]

Yep – seems to be. You can also dig further to see redemption prices. I can attach details if anyone is interested and can’t be bothered to go through the hoops!

It was some time back when I booked. However I recall the number of points required was lower from some point in September. There was less availability from that date and there were far fewer seats available.
