Flights to Europe with Iberia
OK - so I think Iberia are now state-run by the Spanish govt, who are not in great shape themselves but their rates for flights from a few US cities are very, very good...
Iberia.com
$587 (all in) return from O'Hare to London in February, for example.
$435 (all in) return from JFK to London in March, for another.
You have the choice of codeshare flights with both BA and AA.
Hope it can be of use to folk.

Re: Flights to Europe with Iberia
Didn't Iberia just do some kind of merger deal with BA? Believe I read about something like this on Flyertalk. The upside should be better connections and ability to earn and redeem miles on each other's flights.

Indeed they did. Although some Industry Talking Heads have called it a complete take-over by BA;

Re: Flights to Europe with Iberia
I recently used BA miles to fly AA first class to the West Coast for just $5 in fees.
First class on AA short-haul is shite.

TBH, none of it's what it used to be. I would regularly book award flights up front or use miles to upgrade paid tickets, but now I just take a sandwich and an Ambien and rough it in coach - even transatlantic.

Re: Flights to Europe with Iberia
Call them up; the online booking is useless IMO but I get good results on the Asia flights using AA miles.

Don't forget Citi are falling over themselves to throw AA miles at punters via their current credit card sign-up deal.
