Come and join us on this Iberia flight to New York!
It’s my first time flying with long haul with them since 2010, when I flew the A340-300 to Miami. While I love the A340, theirs had no IFE or entertainment on board besides the general screen.

Good stuff!
I'll fly on one of these A359's this weekend and I was curious about what to expect. Now I know.
Thanks for sharing!
I guess it will be much better by now, as there were still many Covid restrictions in place back then. Enjoy your flight!!
When you give us information of the whole flight,from destination/origin when spotting to the Aircraft itself,you are number one!kudos.
It’s quite some extra work, but well worth it😁
Thanks!
A nice economy class experience on this flight with Iberia. Compare to your last time flying with them, it sounded like a huge difference from now.
A super informative flight experience…. IB has certainly improved very much, although having flown them since I arrived on this earth, I’ve always felt at home flying them and thrilled we had the A340/346 and now the 330,s and 350 on the London route since I was at school in the 90’s. Estoy deseando viajar con IB a Nueva York in dia👍
Gracias Nacho!
They did improve a lot! Last time I enjoyed this much with them was in the 1990’s between BCN and AMS. They still offered by then a full meal in Economy Class, had some funny video’s playing on the tv’s and I was always welcome to land and take off in the cockpit😁.
I miss the A340’s though! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Loved your recollections of Iberia! I flew Iberia, as a kid, in 1973. My parents were Gallegos, so summers were about time with our Galician family.
The routing was JFK - MAD - SCQ and always on a 747, transatlantic. Although I believe one year we flew nonstop JFK - SCQ?
The music was ALWAYS present albeit somewhat different? Think more of an old school Gypsy Kings😏
Spain has changed and is more integrated into the EU and the world.
Touché to the marketing success of Spain 🇪🇸
Cheers!
What a beautiful memory, thanks for sharing!
It would not surprise me they flew the B747 transatlantic from Santiago de Compostela, there was a very large exodus of Gallegos to the America’s. So much, that as you likely know, Spaniards are still called “Gallegos” :)
What a plane Iberia’s B747 was! So much fuzz about flying it. Pilots and cabin crew were dead proud and so were the passengers.
And yes, Spain is way more integrated now, those are the correct words. In just a matter of 10 years. Looking forward to the future!
See you around!
I love your flight videos! You are especially great with the music - love the intro with nice bass and not a bit of distortion. It's good to see high quality reviews of economy section on these flights...
Thanks for the awesome comment! Will do my best to keep them coming :D
Volé con ese pedazo avión a Nueva York muy buena experiencia 😊😊 me gusta Iberia😍
Tengo mas vídeos de Iberia por editar, todos los vuelos fueron una pasada!
Ver y nice video
In my opinión,we share the same opinions about iberia,it was my favourite airline since i was a 4 year old kid
Very glad you like it Gabriel! I am very fond of them, prior to 2001 I was flying a lot with them and I was always allowed to take off and land in the cockpit when I was flying as an unaccompanied minor. So much fun!
wow! In the cockpit, awesome
My favourite was the a340-300 and 600 for me those was engineering masterpieces
What a wonderful trip report; thank you. I have never flown Iberia before, but based on your video, I ought to give them a try.
Hey Simon, thank you for the comment.
On long haul they seem to be really good, have another flight planned with them and looking forward.
Short haul is a different story in Europe, little to no difference between airlines anymore..
Super video
Great review, I enjoy your style, thank you for sharing. I haven't flown Iberia in almost a decade, it's cool to see.
Cheers Miguel! Glad you like it!
A full 180° turn for Iberia. It’s unrecognizable from 10 years ago. Very competitive with all other European carriers.
Thank you for this amazing trip views always perfect
Thanks Donna!
Great video! Never on a flight with European carrier. Surprised to see Iberia this good.
Hey Chennan, thanks for watching!
European carriers can be good on long haul flights, some still have Covid cuts in place but as you see Iberia had a solid product at the moment. Find an excuse to fly to Europe some day!
love me the A350! Such a lovely cabin
It’s one of the most comfortable airplanes to date. It just misses some color inside at Iberia, but that doesn’t change the comfort!
Thanks for watching!
Great flightreport ✈️ thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thanks Iwak, my absolute pleasure!
Magnífico reporte 👍🏼
Gracias!!
thanks as always a lovely video great to Iberia improving
I agree Saud! A gigantic improvement from
what they were.
once again! cetait tres parfait! i enjoyed
Merci Jonathan! Happy you enjoyed ;)
Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge in aviation.
My absolute pleasure Iliana! Thank you for watching!
Much more interesting things to be shared on future video’s😛
El A350 es hermoso😍,excelente trip report amigo saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴,por más reportes increíbles para este nuevo año🙌🏽✈️.
Es precioso, Samuel! Uno de mis aviones preferidos para volar en este momento.
Gracias por la vusuta, un abrazo desde Dubai!
Fantastic video ✈️
Muito obrigado!!
Tremendo video, que trabajo tan brutal. Saludos!!!
Gracias amigo, un abrazo!
They have the same A350 Announcement chime when the PA System is on like British Airways. I flew the A350-1000 between PHX (Phoenix) and LHR (London Heathrow).
Spain is on my bucket list and Iberia now flies out of Dallas so excited to go to Madrid 🥰 thanks for the great video.
Yes Tressa, I’ve seen the announcement! Would like to try out that flight too.
You should most definitely visit Spain. I’m currently in Barcelona a couple of days for work however having a time of my life!
@@TheLayoverAviation awesome, enjoy yourself!
Another video, another thing learnt (split door windows!).
I’m glad!! So much more to show but so little time🙃
Love it.❤Feels like Im the one traveling.
It was then great having you fly along! 😄
Iberia is honestly is a great airline! El vuelo es muy guapa y tús videos es genial muy bien! Merry christmas
Y tu Español es muy bueno!
Thank you so much Tariq!!
Haha lolll, my pleasure :)
Gracias por tan buen video.
Me alegro que te haya gustado!
Cada vez más sorprendido y entretenido con tus vídeos... Son una auténtica inmersión en la experiencia de vuelo! Hay detalles como lo que explicas sobre la ventanita de la puerta de emergencia (wide angle); o los sonidos del sistema hidráulico, luces, logística, procedimientos, etc... en los que nunca había indagado suficiente para encontrarles explicación pero que llevaba observando desde pequeño, y tus reportajes me están enseñando muchísimo! (El enigma de los spoilers ligeramente levantados en los 787s sigue sin resolverse (?) Tengo curiosidad!).
En cuanto al producto de largo radio de IB, está prácticamente irreconocible comparado con lo que era en los 2010s... salvo la música a todo trapo tan molesta! Veo además que tuviste una buena experiencia con la tripulación, me alegro mucho! Espero que la tendencia esté cambiando por fin en Iberia. Por lo general, no solo por experiencia propia sino en muchísimas opiniones, reseñas y flight reports, las tripulaciones y el servicio a bordo dejan mucho que desear en IB. Es una verdadera pena que no vayamos a ver más los A340-600 de IB :(
Disculpa por el comentario tan extenso... ¡son muchas emociones! En definitiva: enhorabuena por tu contenido y a seguir volando alto! Un abrazo :)
Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario, amigo! Que honor!
Es precisamente porque de pequeño quería saber que eran o significaban todos los sonidos y artilugios que ahora me encanta compartirlo con todos aquellos que eran/son como yo.
Me alegro que hayas podido aprender algo de los reportajes, espero poder compartir muchísimos detalles más!
Si, el largo radio de Iberia esta completamente irreconocible y tengo ganas de explorar más ya que en este vuelo estaba muy cansado.
Es cierto que Iberia tenía cierta fama hace unos años, yo tenía la impresión que los tripulantes volando los vuelos de largo radio tenían una actitud “privilegiada” pero me alegro que la empresa ha dado un giro de 180 grados y se ha concentrado en modernizar y competir en este nuevo mercado.
Cierto que no volvamos a ver el A340-600.. Pero creo que en Lufthansa regresarán, intentaré volar uno allí 😁.
Me ha encantado leer tu comentario, muchas gracias por ello nuevamente. Si tienes cualquier otra curiosidad o pregunta, aquí estoy!
Un abrazo!
pd. El enigma del B787 sigue sin resolverse.. En cuanto vuele un B787 intentaré preguntarles a los pilotos..
awesomee love itttt!!!!
Thanks Abdul, I really appreciate!
Excellent. Generous wine
Indeed! Very glad to have been served a delicious Rioja!
muy buen vídeo, interesante perspectiva respecto a otros "reviewers". Muy acertado el detalle de nombrar los vuelos y aparatos "spotted"
Me alegro que te haya gustado!
Interesante saber a dónde van los vuelos, verdad?!
Hasta pronto!
Hello!! Just to let You know, Iberia plays music in flights to “calm” nervous passengers. The reason of the high volume is to avoid this kind of passengers to hear any kind of “loud” sound in the plane! Good video!
I thought so.. But while it calms some, it makes other more nervous😂
Thanks for watching!
great trip report friend...
Thank you my friend!
Phew! When I saw your "beautiful view for the next 07:33h" I was worried for you, thinking that your flight was delayed and you'd be looking at that A350 for hours. Then pushback started. 😀😀
I would jump out if that were the case!
I had once a 06:00h delay (very heavy fog) on a B777 and trust me that those were the slowest 6 hours of my life..
You're very patriotic for a Trip Advisor.
Really? Thought I was quite cosmopolitan..
Gracias por el vídeo
Un placer😊
The moment of greatest stress for apprehensive passengers occurs during takeoff and landing, therefore the use of calm music can reduce nervousness. For this reason, IBERIA activates background music. Yes, it is true that depending on the musical tastes of each one, it can increase stress 😂. Otherwise great video. Saludos
Increases stress, hahahah good one🤣
Like British Airways’s “Flower Duet” addiction..
Thank you very much for this very understandable reason. It actually makes very much sense now to me. This clearly shows how everything in aviation does have a reason ☝️.
It must be something common to Spanish aviation as quite some other Spanish airlines used to have it when I flew them in the 90’s - 2000’s.
Other airlines use music but mostly for boarding.
Thanks again, learned something new.
I’ll be flying with this airline in 3 weeks! I’m going to Lisbon Portugal and my flight out of Boston with lberia will be on the Airbus A330-200 I haven’t flown on an Airbus before it’s always been Boeing so I can’t wait to experience Airbus
I’m sure you’ll have a good time! I’ve flown on their A330 and it’s good. Try to get a window seat as there are only 2 seats on the window side while there are 4 in the middle.
Airbus is slightly different, I have to say that I actually prefer it.. Let’s see what you think!
@@TheLayoverAviation oh I made sure to have all window seats on the flights I booked 😂
Glad you did your homework! Enjoy!
Regarding the Wing lights, at night it's better to have all the lights than some.
Brilliant video. Quick question: How do you film such clear and stable footage from the window, especially during takeoff? Previously I've tried holding my camera with my hands against the window, but the vibration makes the footage unusable and just makes my hand ache. Any tips would be very helpful. Thanks
Hey Sajana, no tricks! Some people have some phone/camera holder to stick on the windows, I just stabilize it with my hands. I don’t touch the windows with the camera as they vibrate.
It takes some practice but I kind of know when to expect certain movements, such as touchdown, braking, rudded movements etc and this I focus extra hard on stabilizing then.
All the best!
@@TheLayoverAviation Thanks for replying, I'll try my best. Great video btw
One day I will conquer my fear of flying over the ocean .. and embark on this journey!
This one and hopefully many more!
I’m sure you can do it! 💪🏼
Hi, i really enjoyed your video! I am flying soon from Barcelona to NYC with Iberia for the first time. I was wondering if you could recommend me which seat to choose? Should i go for emergency exit one or XL one? Thanks in advance! 😃
I love emergency exit ones, the problem on the A330 and A350 is that at the window you might get a slide blocking half of your legroom.
still worth it though. you can always get up whenever you want.
Have an awesome flight!
1:16, Oh star wars. I love the star wars livery. Do you like the star wars livery?
It’s beautiful!! And I keep seeing that plane all over the world!
It seems that when other airlines like LH got worse and worse Iberia improved. For long haul it looks nice and proffesional: New cabin, decent IFE, main dish, alko for free.
Sebastian, Iberia has been great for me. I also have some video to edit of a short haul Business Class flight and even that I thoroughly enjoyed.
NOT BAD, FOR ECONOMY
not bad at all!
How much did the ticket cost you? Cause iam currently at Madrid and planning to go new york next week..anyway amazing tripreport!
Hey Joel!
Prices used to be insanely cheap from Madrid to USA with Iberia, Air Europa and American Airlines in October due to being closed to Europeans, I found tickets at around 650-720AED, which is close to 150-€170 one way.
It’s a busy travel season so tickets will be quite more expensive now. I highly recommend Delta and Iberia between these two cities, Delta being the one offering the most beverages, everything else is pretty much great. Have fun!
The definition of a searing, burning hell: Iberia on any level of class over the Atlantic.
I actually keep having a great time with them.
Great report. Thanks for sharing. The pre arrival food looks awful - sugar on sugar? 😳
To be honest, I didnt even eat it as I’m rarely hungry that soon after a meal.
It was just the muffin with whichever drink you want. The additional sugar was just my choice :)
Great video!! However, there is an error at 2:24. A350s are powered by Trent XWBs
Absolutely true Jimmy, thanks!
@@TheLayoverAviation You're welcome.
Yes, its true. Iberia always think in Madrid. We are a global country where a lot of airlines invest in Mallorca, Ibiza, Tenerife, Malaga, Barcelona or Alicante. But Iberia just serve Madrid. This is the mind of the workers in Iberia, and this is the reason why spanish from other cities prefer other airlines like Vueling, Ryanair, Easyjet, etc
Iberia thinks of Madrid beacuse it's its main hub, it's also the flag carrier of Spain which means they are always located in the countries major city/capital, just like Air France in Paris, British Airways in London, etc. Airlines like Vueling or LEVEL are in Barcelona because they cater to the leisure and low-cost traveler instead of the business travelers like Iberia.
@@alfrredd Spain is not like England or France, where have 1 big city. Spain is more like countries where have more cities than Germany (Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin..), Italy (Rome, Milan, Venice, etc). Iberia must be more in other cities like Barcelona, Mallorca or Malaga. But is too late now because there are other airlines which the locals prefer
@@purificacionromano6909 Well, Madrid is 4 times bigger than the next city and Barcelona is 3x bigger than the 3rd and 4th biggest cities so... there aren't a lot of big cities like in Germany where many cities have similar population. Anyway, Iberia DOES link EVERY Spanish city with an airport to the main hub or regional HUB Málaga Barcelona or Mallorca. There's also LEVEL which connects BCN to the US and America and Vueling which connects regional Spanish hubs to Europe; and they are all from the same company: IAG.
Thanks for your comment Purificación! You know what I mean.
The opportunity that they have lost to other airlines from other countries is massive by leaving Barcelona and all other busy Spanish airports, specially to Easyjet, Wizzair and Ryanair.
Madrid and Barcelona were the number 5 and 6 busiest airports in Europe, with Palma and Malaga being very high in the ranking too. One can’t deny that the missed opportunity to others is very big and non recoverable. They tried to join the party with Clickair, Level and by buying Vueling but alas, late.
Yes, all is now IAG but it still is huuuge lost business to others.
Lufthansa had a system that works with a dual base (FRA & MUC), Spain had the potential for the same.
Yes, Iberia serves almost all Spanish airports, but mostly as a feeder to Madrid.
But hey, things like these keep aviation interesting! It’s nice to be able to share our thoughts and opinions.
10:07, Oh you have a Malaysia flag on your luggage, cool.
And I’m publishing Malaysia Airlines next week! 😛
Nice and great. Looking forward to your trip report.
what camera do u use
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Are you also Spanish?
One day I wanted to know why they play the music and I asked an asafato and he told me that it is for stressed people to relax
Asafato, you made my day😂
I think it also stresses out some other people? But ok, the intention is what counts 👍🏼
Thanks for writing!
Iberia from spain?
Yes it is. New video coming up soon as I just flew with them.
@@TheLayoverAviation ok
🇺🇲🇪🇦✝️❤️
Are you sure this isn’t premium economy??
I know right?!
It’s even better as I could lay down
On Trustpilot Iberia scores next to nothing for their apparent terrible onboard service and generally poor customer service. Can anyone relate, please?
I have had nothing but good experiences..
14 best airline according to SkyTrax in 2023
People still don’t wash their hands with soap after using the toilets. Super disgusting. Especially after doing #2. Yuck.
