CWT Partner: Iberia
Since its foundation in
1927, more than 800 million passengers have flown with Iberia, situating
this company among the five largest European airlines, and making Iberia
the unrivalled leader on routes connecting Spain with the rest of Europe,
and Europe with Latin America. It is one of the most profitable airlines
in Europe.
Today Iberia Group airlines fly to 108 destinations in 42 countries. Via code-sharing agreements with other carriers, it offers flights to other additional 181 destinations. With a fleet of currently 180 aircraft, it operates about 1,000 flights each day.
Iberia operates flights between Madrid and 21 Latin American cities, with direct connections from and to over 30 destinations in Spain, 36 European cities, and 11 destinations in Africa and the Middle East. Other Iberia long haul destinations are Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York and Los Angeles in the United States and for example Johannesburg in South Africa.
Iberia is a founding member of oneworld, one of the world's largest airline alliances, which gives Iberia customers convenient access to 700 destinations with the best connections.
Frequent Flyer Programme Iberia Plus
In 1991, Iberia started offering
its customers free membership in the Iberia Plus Frequent Flyer programme.
Passengers can collect points from Iberia, its subsidiaries and other programme
partners, and exchange them for flights or other services.
Iberia Plus members can earn and spend points when they fly with member airlines of the oneworld alliance or other airline partners. Car rental companies and credit cards are, as well, members of the Iberia Plus programme.
To obtain the Iberia Plus Card, just fill out the form available on the Iberia website.
Business Plus Class
In a bid to offer
more room, comfort and privacy for passengers, Iberia undertook a major
overhaul of its intercontinental Business Plus class. The airline removed
an entire row of business class seats in order to expand the room between
rows by more than 30 cm, to 183 cm. The total personal space enjoyed by
each business passenger thus exceeds 2.20 metres. The change has been effected
to Iberia’s fleet of Airbus A340s, used on long-distance flights.
The number of business class seats in the A340/600s is reduced from 52 to
42, and in the A340/300s from 42 to 36.
Iberia's Business Plus seating class also features the latest entertainment and communications systems. Long-distance business travellers have individual 14" touch screens and satellite telephones, laptop power and connection ports. Passengers can enjoy six interactive computer games, 12 audio channels and 26 video channels with first-run films, information about the flight, real-time images from the aircraft exterior, and a wide variety of musical options. The gourmet meal service offerings were designed by the renowned Spanish chef Sergi Arola.
Terminal 4 at Madrid Airport
Since 2006, Iberia and its
oneworld alliance partners operate from the new Terminal 4 complex at the
Madrid-Barajas airport.
Iberia customers will find Terminal 4 to be a modern and efficient traffic distribution centre, linking more than 120 domestic and international destinations. The luminous and spacious volumes of the new terminal facilitate convenient connections, making air travel a much more enjoyable experience.
Business travellers can relax or work in Iberia's three VIP lounges in the T4 complex, where they will find showers, fully-equipped working and meeting spaces, a television zone, toilets with facilities for the handicapped and for infant care, and a place to check coats and luggage.
