Iberia Plus (Avios) award chart (2026)
Iberia Plus uses Avios pricing but applies its own off-peak chart for Iberia-metal flights. The 34,000-Avios one-way US East Coast to Madrid in business class is the single best transatlantic business class redemption in the points world. Catch: it's only off-peak dates and only on Iberia metal.

Frequently asked questions
What dates are off-peak for Iberia awards?
Iberia publishes a yearly calendar. Generally: most of January through mid-February (excluding holidays), late February through March, and September through November (excluding November holidays). December, summer, and spring-break weeks are peak.
Why is Iberia 34K business class so much cheaper than other programs?
Iberia treats its own-metal off-peak business as the loyalty marketing tool. The fare class is limited and bookings require flexibility. There's no catch beyond date restrictions.
Can I use BA Avios on Iberia?
Yes — once you link your BA and Iberia accounts (one-time setup), Avios can be moved freely. The Iberia-metal off-peak pricing requires booking on iberia.com, but Avios from BA Executive Club work after transfer.
