@Aston100 There is somewhere on the site. It’s not entirely the same because Iberia releases awards 360 days in advance and BA 355 days. And yes, could be it’s sold out.

You can book MAD-NRT//NRT-LHR via MAD on 241 voucher, but it will require a phone call.

Is this possible as the NRT-MAD flight lands at 20:30 and don’t think there’s any BA or IB flights that depart that late.

EDIT: Nvm I can see that this has been answered and an overnight stay in Madrid would be required. Follow-up question, is it possible to book MAD-NRT and HND-LHR on a 2-4-1? Obviously separate bookings with avios refunded.

Yes – some discussion on this in the 241 threads.

Great info.
Related question: if one were to book NRT > LHR with Iberia, would they assist with a hotel, given the shortest connection is over ten hours and happens to be overnight?

A hotel would be up to you I’m afraid

@Aston100 😂 Iberia does have stopover programme, but only for cash tickets.
