Iberia

I paid 180£ for a ticket from the 1st Jan to come back on the 7th Jan without a checked bag because it would have been more expensive and I didn't have Christmas holidays at work. After quitting my job I called them to see if they could change the flight to fly on the 24th December and they told me it would be an extra cost of 300£. I found a ticket with Brussels Airlines (WITH A CHECKED BAG INCLUDED) for less than 100£ so I didn't fly with Iberia. I called them on the 1st Jan to let them know so they wouldn't cancel my return ticket and they sent me an email confirming the flight back wasn't canceled.

Five months before our scheduled departure, my husband had a terrible accident and we had to cancel our trip. We followed every rule to submit a claim to get a refund, all in a timely manner, and had purchased insurance, but there were no responses to our claim. Customer service was totally confusing - literally no help. We tried over and over and never received any help. Responses involved passing the buck till you get nowhere. We finally had to give up and just consider it a total loss. I definitely would never fly Iberia again, and would not recommend this miserable experience to anyone.

I had the misfortune of purchasing airline tickets on Iberia for myself and my family earlier in 2018 for a flight from Miami to Spain. I made an additional mistake of purchasing the tickets thru Travelocity. Other than for information purposes only, it makes no sense to purchase airline tickets or hotel reservations thru Travelocity instead of going directly to the airline or hotel. Many airlines or hotels will not deal with you directly if you book with Travelocity. So if you have a problem with your itinerary, it becomes a circus act trying to coordinate between both the airlines and the booking site. Well, I needed emergency medical treatment for one month which started the week before my flight on Iberia for July 27th.

I have booked a round trip with Iberia from NYC to Paris and back. I cannot honor my flight out (have to travel earlier to Europe for family reasons). Now Iberia tells me that they will cancel my flight back, if I do not show up for the outbound trip. I have paid (through Expedia) both ways. What can I do to use my flight back?

I arrived in Madrid, Spain from LAX and unfortunately left my cell phone (Samsung Note 8) inside the flap in front of my seat. I know because I was charging the phone while flying. I gathered my items to leave the plane but forgot to get my cell phone. I went to lost/found to explain my situation immediately upon arrival to airport at Madrid but no sympathy, no running or calling by walkie talkie or other of communication to try to go back to aircraft to retrieve my phone. Instead I waited 4 hours and said nothing was found. I was the last passenger to leave and my friend was my witness, I know the phone was left there and the only people who had access was the cleaning crew. My phone was stolen and never returned.

We were sold exit row seats and we did not get the seats we paid for. I tried submitting a complaint and they closed it and would not refund my money. The flight crew had no control over the passengers. It is an unsafe airline and violates FAA rules.

We had a delayed luggage issue at Miami. We arrived on Friday 12 October and didn't got our luggage delivered to the hotel until Sunday 14th October. We had to buy essentials ie. clothes totaling 130 dollars. We were offered £88 which we've declined. We also asked for compensation as our weekend in Miami was wasted. Has anyone had the same problem and what did you get for compensation. I need some advice as to where we go from here.

I was routed to the airline to book after a Skyscanner search turned up the Iberia flights from CVG to Jordan and back from Morocco with overnight layover in Madrid for return flight. Not exactly a bargain fare, but better than alternatives on other airlines. However, another airline would have been cheaper had the seat selection fees been added onto the fare! So the flights were sold to me under false pretenses when comparing my options! Also, in choosing which economy fare to book, I chose regular vs basic economy for the outflight, as the comparison of the two did say seat selection would be extra for basic economy (that was the only advantage) and the price difference seemed worth it since seat selection was "up to $40" (though that was implied to be FOR THE ENTIRE FLIGHT EACH WAY, NOT PER LEG OF THE 3-LEGGED TRIP!).

Four of us flew from South Africa-Madrid-Barcelona-Madrid-South Africa. The 10 hour flight to and from Madrid was atrocious to say the least. We paid R3,518.00 extra to book our seats! When we arrived at OR Tambo Airport we were given different seats. On our return flights, we were not even seated together! After proving that we had in fact paid extra to be pre-seated, they found us seats in the middle aisle together. These seats were really cramped - absolutely no leg room whatsoever. The cabin crew are extremely rude and unaccommodating. The food on Iberia is dismal and their vegetarian meal is not fit for human consumption! They offer you one refreshment plus tea/coffee per meal on a 10 hour flight! Some advice - pay a little more and fly with a decent airline.

Domestic flight Madrid to Alicante was cancelled at the departure gate due to 'technical difficulties'. Ground staff were rude and when asked a question (in English) would say 'yes, I'm busy now' and run off! No alternative flight offered that or any other day so a bus was put on, yes a bus to replace a flight - almost 6 hours instead of the 45 or so minutes flying time.

I had to cancel a trip because I suddenly had a serious illness - a highly contagious virus. We had booked our trip to Spain on Iberia and a return trip on Air Portugal. Air Portugal was very reasonable. We spoke with customer service, they told us where to write, and we sent a letter from the infectious disease doctor and they gave us a voucher for travel within one year. By contrast, we spent hours on the phone with Iberia - mostly on hold, but then with the most unhelpful and rude staff I have ever encountered. After spending 30 minutes on hold, we were told to call someone else. Another 30 minutes and they gave us an address to write to. That was the wrong address. We were given a number to call. Another address.

As a daughter of immigrants and as an immigrant myself now, I have been flying almost all my life. This is my first time with Iberia and I am actually sad to say this is by far the worse experience. The plane is actually really nice, the food was decent but the staff is absolutely awful. I have never felt mistreated by any airline up until today. It is very upsetting how rude and mean the staff was at the airport (Madrid) and also in the plane. Starting by staff not wanting to speak in English (my flight was to Miami, USA), getting pulled aside twice during the boarding process by the same people and without any explanation regarding the matter, getting pushed up the plane by staff with a food cart without saying a word to me. I am so disappointed and feel so upset that I am actually writing this review from the plane (that has free wifi, how awesome! Not being sarcastic btw) with my hands full of soap since the water in the bathroom doesn’t work.

I purchased premium economy seating due to being 6’7”. When I checked to see about the seats that I had chosen, it didn’t have any assigned. I called to find out and even though I had paid for “premium economy”, that class was not even offered. They chose nothing to do and did not refund my money.

My family and I flew with Iberia in July on a connecting flight from Catania airport to Madrid Spain. Our flight was missed due to Iberia not having enough buses to transport the passengers to the actual aircraft. My entire family lost a days work due to this and Iberia will NOT compensate us as stated on their website.

Only positive thing I can say about this airline is that both of my flights and connect was on time, even though terminal locations were all off (did not land where it stated it will go in to and from Europe). Other than that, where do I start?! THE WORST customer service EVER, incredibly rude, illiterate, possibly drugged up flight attendants will straight up run into you with hot pot of coffee, kick you with an elbow, ignore you etc. I had one pour coffee and remove tray fast enough to spill it and not even look back. Unheard of! The scariest thing was safety issue, I literally had to ask flight attendant to lock the overhead luggage area because we were taking off, her response was, "Oh you want me to close it?" with a bad attitude.

Hello! Your subsidiary company VUELING told me to send the official request about my lost passport and phone on board Ibiza-Barcelona which was 13.08.2018. 4 days left, and I'm still have no answer about my things!!! 4 days I'm still waiting the response, I tried to сall but still don't have any answer from Vueling and Iberia!!! Provide me where can I get back my passport and phone pls!

If given the opportunity I would award Iberia Airlines ZERO stars for their service and performance. I took advantage of their 9,000 Avios points promotion in June 2018. It seems that after Iberia released this promotion, they realized they had made a mistake and are now holding the Avios points I paid for hostage claiming they need to "verify" my identification and booking documentation. They have released a third of my points at this time, but not the remainder, which tells me this is a just a game they are playing. If a third of my points were able to be verified and released, all of my points should be released. I adhered to the guidelines of the purchasing rules for the promotion and the company has received payment for my tickets purchased, so it seems to me that Iberia is stealing from me by withholding my Avios points.

I made reservations for a flight from LAX to Madrid on AA. The itinerary told me to contact Iberia Airlines for seat assignments which I did. I wanted to make sure I was in the front of the plane. Now today looking at my online itinerary I am in the last seat on the plane. I called and paid for a seat in the front of the plane. I tried to file a complaint to Iberia online but was not able to because I didn't have an Iberia Locator number. When I called back to find out how I could file a complaint I was told I couldn't do it online because I made the reservations through AA. I was then told my original seat was given away because I never paid for it. I was never told it was a chargeable seat or asked for my credit card number, I would have been willing to pay. The customer service person kept telling me I had recourse because reservations were made through AA even though Iberia had given me my original seat assignments.

It is not possible to file a claim. The site to file claims https://www.iberia.com/us/customer-relations/ does not work. I tried many times to enter my claim (each time it takes long time to do that) and there is always a message 'Erroneous data'.

They lost my daughter's bag, two days later no bag. We were told Courier has and will deliver. 12 Hours later, after the said delivery time. Still not here and you cannot get anyone on the phone. They truly don't care. I would never fly this airline nor recommend them. They are a complete joke and disgrace.

Where to even begin with Iberia. Unfortunately for me I have to fly them all the time as I am based in Spain for work. I have many horror stories...I even had one flight from Shanghai to Madrid several months ago with NO DRINKING WATER AFTER HOUR FOUR OF THE FLIGHT. I imagine this is against the law. There was also the time that friend of mine was denied entry onboard an overbooked flight via Madrid to Hong Kong. As we were on the same flight and had plans to fly the day after arrival to Thailand, we were looking at an entire vacation getting ruined for absolutely no reason, as the ticket had been fully paid for and no justification was given for their denial to give a boarding pass (nor would they tell us if there was any chance to get out on a subsequent flight).

This past spring I booked a roundtrip flight for 4 people from Madrid to Tenerife on Iberia Express on one reservation. Two of the four of us were elderly so I purchased the additional travel cancellation insurance that Iberia offered through their reservation system. Unfortunately, my 85 year old mother injured her right eye and developed a horrible fungus infection that was eyesight limiting, and that needed treatment almost on a daily basis. Because of this she could no longer travel, which also impacted the rest of us that were traveling with her (my dad, family friend, and myself).

Iberia overbooked the flight by 5 people. As such we were denied boarding. Staff were very unhelpful saying "we may get on a flight the next day". We declined, and caught a different flight with another carrier. I subsequently contacted Iberia for a refund for my ticket, and each time they say "head office will contact you". I have been waiting 4 months - still no answer. Would avoid this carrier at all costs.

I purchased my ticket through American Airlines and it was operated by Iberia. Iberia charged for 4 seats when it was suppose to be 1 seat. I emailed and never got a response, I called on May 1, 2018 and I had my bank rep on the other line and Iberia told us with 24-70 hours. Following Wednesday, I never got my refund. I called Iberia again and same thing, this time Iberia rep wanted my card number that was used, provided it and still wasn’t enough. She told me I need to go to Iberia.com and file a complaint, along with proof of purchase. Now it’s June 1, 2018 and I still haven’t got my money.

5 months and still waiting for a baggage claim to be resolved, the case arrived totally destroyed and contents emptied into a polythene bag, items missing, staff rude and have been ignored, seems like IBERIA do not want to pay any claims at all. Where else can we take our complaint?

Iberia breaks EU laws and will try every trick to avoid the compensation they are legally required to under EU Law. IBERIA Airlines flight was late to Madrid, then Iberia cancelled the next leg of our flight even though we were all in line waiting for it. Only to make us wait 24 hrs for another flight. After months of emails to Iberia they still will not meet their obligations under EU laws to compensate their clients.

WARNING. The worst flying experience of my life, I flew with Iberia from Gatwick to Miami via Madrid. Their onboard customer service is downright offensive with their flight attendants actively hostile to their customers. Unless you speak Spanish of course. Their baggage handling is shocking. They filled our plane with cargo and left passengers bags at Madrid. They obviously have no scruples or regard for providing even a basic standard of service. And forget booking and paying extra to select your seat because if someone pays more guess what you and your partner split up for a 10 hours flight, this was confirmed by checking agent. I would not book another flight with Iberia. They are a disgrace to the industry and should be shut down, never again.

We flew home from Madrid to Miami yesterday. This morning unpacking bag. My two colognes taken out of attaché, Versace cologne and Dior, and brand new Barcelona jerseys taken out of bag... When contacted Iberia we were told to submit claim with police report. Really... I will never fly them again...

I flew with Iberia on a round trip flight from JFK to Naples Italy with a layover in Madrid. Everything went ok the way out except for an obvious rudeness on the part of most Iberia employees and an extremely close layover in Madrid requiring me to run across that vast airport only to get to the terminal and have no gate information on the flight. In fact gate information was not provided until 30 minutes prior to the flight taking off - which required more running. So fast forward two weeks after a great visit to Italy to see my sister and her kids I board a flight back to JFK with a suitcase with my clothes as well as olive oil, vinegar (made at a vineyard by Mount Vesuvius in Naples), olives, and some really Good provolone cheese.

After dealing for 2 days with 2 different agents, who were helpful Avik and Nausha. I got the agent Anirudh on third day, who gave such a hard time to me.

Anirudh didn't have any phone etiquettes, the information he was giving was completely different from what the other 2 agents gave, and his claim was that the other 2 agents gave wrong information. Well, if he felt he was right then definitely the other 2 agents were wrong as per him. When I said as he can't help him to transfer to the agent I spoke with yesterday, he coldly said he is not available and when is sched for some other agent who can help with the passenger's situation here and who can show some compassion, but he said to hang up and call back. When called back, Guess what, got him again. And he says he is the only one working.
