Iberia to Madrid

[hayley1983]

Hi,

When I look on the BA app for reward flights, it shows lots of availability for Iberia flights but these cost more avios and more ££. How can I check how many avios and ££ it would be if I booked through Iberia rather than BA? Do I have to transfer the avios to Iberia and hope there are the same flights available?

Thanks

So long as you have an Iberia account you can make a dummy booking and cost it out on the IB site. You don’t need to have the Avios in the IB account.

Thanks!

I have an Amex 241. Can this only be used via the BA website?

Yes, unfortunately you’re stuck with BA pricing if you want to use the 241. Details in this article:

Its quite practical to do it via IB app. Then price is up on BA. Note that IB release award flights 360 days out and BA 355.
