Welcome back! This time we will fly IBERIA Premium Economy from Santiago de Chile to Madrid on one of their newer Airbus A350-900's!
This was my first time flying on an Airbus A350 and it truly is a comfortable and smooth plane. The cabin is very quiet, even during takeoff. I love how the high ceilings and the huge windows give a spacious look to the cabin. The on-board entertainment system is very intuitive and comes with a wide content of movies, series, and much more.
The Premium Economy seat is very comfortable and has lots of legroom, a footrest, a great recline angle, and an adjustable headrest. The 2-4-2 seat layout in the Premium Economy cabin allows for greater width in each seat, especially in the window seats. A complimentary blanket and pillow can be found on each seat upon boarding. One thing I liked to see is that IB no longer wraps the blankets and pillows in a disposable plastic bag, but they use a simple recycled paper-cardboard strip instead. You also find (reusable) metal cutlery in the main meal tray and they are gradually opting for cardboard cups instead of plastic ones. During boarding, the crew handed out a set of noise-canceling headphones as well as an amenity kit to each passenger in the Premium Economy. A welcome drink was offered too, with a choice of orange juice or water.
A hot dinner was served soon after takeoff. The starter consisted of a small couscous salad with vegetables. I was able to try the two main course options that were offered. The first option was Braised beef steak with sautéed spinach and pumpkin puree; and the second option (vegetarian) was Pappardelle pasta with cheese and mushrooms. The dessert consisted of a lemon cake. It was an extraordinarily good dinner. Perhaps my only suggestion would be to include a small aperitif service before the main meal, as many other airlines do even in Economy, and even more so when it comes to Premium Economy. The crew handed out bottles of water to the Premium economy passengers after dinner service. During the central hours of the flight, a small stand was set up with snacks and drinks in the galleys.
During the flight, we crossed several areas of turbulence over Brazil and the Atlantic Ocean. The crossing of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which I explain in the video, was quite turbulent, and the seat belt signed remained on for quite a few hours.
About 1 hour before landing, a pre-arrival snack was served, consisting of a warm ham & cheese croissant, a chocolate bar, a yogurt, and an almond cookie, along with a drink of your choice.
The crew delivered a professional and efficient service throughout the flight. However, as I mention in the video, they were quite unfriendly and didn't seem to be enjoying their job at all. I was told off by one flight attendant for crossing the galley on my way to where my family was sitting in Economy class, and something similar happened to my father later on the flight when he asked for a glass of water after the meal service. I was also struck by how the crew member who was in charge of my section did not bother to communicate in English with several non-Spanish-speaking passengers who were seated near me during the meal services. She did not try to speak to them in English at any point... which was kind of awkward. Come on Iberia!
I totally understand that being a cabin crew must have its difficulties and that it should not be easy to deal with so many people in such a small space, but I believe that professional training must consist precisely of knowing how to show a good attitude and manners despite the difficulties of the job. My only intention in sharing this is that these gestures and perceptions do not spoil the great and efficient work of the many other professionals in the airline.
With all that said, I hope you have enjoyed this Flight Experience and I hope to see you in the next video! Stay tuned! :)

Con ese avión de iberia volé a Nueva York, nuenísimo y muy bonito el airbus A350 900 un lujazo d avión ♥️
The food looked delicious, especially that pappardelle pasta with cheese and mushrooms. Great review!
Excelente video, es espectacular la experiencia con iberia. Saludos!
gracias amigo!! un saludo
El año 2021 y 2022 vole a Chile con el A350-900 de Iberia es una autentica maravilla ahora en 2023 volvere a volar con ellos IB6833.
I felt like I was living it all over again! Great video bud, keep up the good work 💪🏼
yayy thanks bro!
Totally agree, very detailed and comprehensive.

Los huasitos aplaudieron 😂
I flown an a350-900 from Martinica to Paris a few months ago. It's right that's a quite good aircraft to travel on.
Buen video. Espero realizar mi próximo viaje a España con Iberia para poder comparar el servicio con LATAM. Saludos!
Beautiful video !!! 🔝👍🏻😊
Great!
Thanks bro!
Great in depth review! Hopefully they start using the 350 for the Miami-Madrid route too ^^ And btw, the person with the laser pointer at 5:06 is lucky they aren't in the United States because they're gonna have a fun time in jail for pulling a stunt like that
Great video mate! I was supposed to fly that route on the 359 this summer but this didn't happen obviously.... I am so super gutted... Now even more after watching ypur video 😂
Haha oh no, that's unfortunate! The good news is that the A350 is here to stay ... so you'll definitely have a chance to fly it before you know it! :) Thanks for your comment! Stay safe :)
We are all sad to not be able to travel. I can't wait to travel again. I am a small YTber, and was wondering if you had any tips to grow your channel (specifically with aviation content).
I love the melody sounding at the beginning for the first two mins. Is it available?
Amazing video! greetings from London/UK
Thank you so much! :D
Great video and I quite agree with you regarding the flight attendant, sometimes very serious and not engaging, but I had flights with Iberia and they were super nice and friendly. Thanks for your video! 👍👍
Hey, thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Nice to see that you had a great crew on your flights! the truth is that there is always a chance to run into an unfriendly crew... I am sure, fortunately, that my experience does not speak for a large part of the Iberia crew. But I think it is always good to give constructive criticism to what could easily be improved :)
@@SkyWide6 oh yes indeed, with criticism things get better in a way. Thank you for your message, truly appreciated. Have safe and happy travels, no matter where and with which airline, regards 👍👍
HOLA ME GUSTO VIDEO GRACIAS POR SUBI 👍👍👍
I agree!! The flight attendants are rude!!! They do need to work on that with a smile
Gracias por este video. Pienso viajar en un mes en clase turista premium a Madrida, ya aue me fue pésimo en Aireuropa. Todos los review mostraban al viajero en las sillas XL, delanteras de la clase. Tu has mostrado las sillas donde pienso viajar.
Gracias
If you have access to the premium lounge it really deserves the price, is like Bussines but you still making 10 hours flight sit, and not on a bed
Si la tarifa premium economy incluyera acceso al business lounge sería genial... totalmente de acuerdo!
good video!. When was the trip?
Thanks! January 2020
You should have told the crew about that laser. The pilots would be able to give to the police the location. It is a criminal offence to flash lasers at flying planes.
a que hora sale el vuelo para Madrid
The CousCous salad looked so good. Really pretty footage, I didn't even know that Iberia flew to South America. Hope to get a chance to try them one day. I also have a YT channel and am looking for people to give me advice/feedback, anyone, please feel free to leave me a comment under one of my videos if you can.
Nice
Thanks! :)
@@SkyWide6 Welcome
COMO SE LLAMA LA MÚSICA DE SALE AVIÓN ME GUSTO LA MÚSICA
Incredible video, and in fact flight attendants have always been like this, all with a bad attitude towards passengers and it's a shame, that's why I didn't fly with IBERIA again
I probably have been lucky. Always normal crews. Some nice, some others not so. Like everywhere including Latam
Arty ?
00:38 pueden borrar esos 2 segundos. GRACIAS.
No :) Un saludo
Loved the review as may be taking this flight . But for me the crew is hugely important and if there that miserable then maybe they should work in a kitchen dish washing. People spent a lot of money and it’s maybe there one big holiday a year to be spoilt by some horrible people. In all honesty I think I may avoid
Yes! I feel it that way too... hopefully, they'll improve on this matter soon! Stay safe and happy 2021!
@@SkyWide6 you to my friend and thanks for an honest review not one to please everyone
I agree with you, Iberia has the worst service with regard to staff on board. They are grumpy and quite bossy, they forget we are the customers... and we paid a substantial price to go to Chile. I avoid Iberia as much as possible.
Hey, thanks for your comment :) Indeed, the crew service on IBERIA leaves room for improvement. Of course, it's not like you get this experience on every flight. I've had some great crew on many flights too. Hopefully, airlines will start taking constructive criticism into account more often to avoid similar experiences in the future. I believe that, as a result of this pandemic, customer service is going to be a key point to make airlines stand out in their tough fight to progressively recover passengers on their flights.
A matter of opinion, I guess. There are good and bad crews in all airlines including Iberia
Nastyairline. The last time I flew them they actually did not have enough meals (JFK to MAD) and they lost my luggage. Every single time I fly them it’s a horrific experience. I’d rather fly a one star airline like North Koreas Air Koryo than Iberia. Never again. Ever.
I happens the same to me. Never again with US airlines. Bad food, sultry crews, terrible service.
la prémium economy de ibéria est très médiocre sur le plateau repas le hors d oeuvre et le dessert sont identiques a la classe éco la cabine éco prémium n est pas privative pas de rideau de séparation avec la classe éco bref le produit econony prémium de ibéria est a revoir
You have a point there. I also think they could make some improvements like offering a more consistent pre-arrival meal, perhaps including a hot main course. However, it is true that the seats are very comfortable and offer a lot of space, which is a strong asset of the "Premium Economy" concept. Merci pour votre commentaire :) :)
Booking Iberia Premium Economy with Avios+Money is the best thing you can do. You buy Avios this way for 0,8 Euro-Cent each. Which makes the whole flight only a little more expensive than Blue-Class Economy ( 25Euro Refund/Change Penalty). And it is much cheaper than Business Class with Avios. Flown in 2022 to Mexico City, great value! Paid 8250 Avios + 406 Euro oneway from Brussels.
