We have already talked about all direct routes between Italy and the United States and of the ITA Airways' new routes, today we focus on the new routes made official today by Iberia for the upcoming summer season, all departing from Madrid.
The new routes
- Madrid to Dallas, starting in April with four weekly round-trip flights
- Also starting in April, Iberia will operate four weekly round-trip flights to Washington, D.C.
- The flight to San Francisco will be operated three times a week
Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks, and the same will be done as premium seats become available
How to book an award ticket with Iberia
The Spanish carrier, owned by the IAG group, which also includes British Airways, is one of American Express' partners, so it is possible to Turn Membership rRwards points into Avios points. The advantage is that you can move the points from an Avios program to the other and cumulate them to reserve an award ticket.
For award ticket reservations Iberia applies a fixed table and not dynamic as is the case with British Airways.
The price list provides different cost according to seasonality, off peak (low season) and peak (high season), the prices should be as follows:
Washington off peak one way
17,000 Avios - Economy
25,500 Avios - Premium Economy
34,000 Avios - Business Class
Washington peak one way
20,000 Avios - Economy
35,000 Avios - Premium Economy
50,000 Avios - Business Class
Dallas and San Francisco off peak each way
21,250 Avios - Economy
31,750 Avios - Premium Economy
42,500 Avios - Business Class
Dallas and San Francisco peak one-way
25,000 Avios - Economy
43,750 Avios - Premium Economy
62,500 Avios - Business Class
We have already written about how it is possible to fly in the USA, with Iberia, at only 68k Avios points in business class or 34k points in economy and with significantly lower fees than those charged by British Airways and Air France.
These flights, it should be remembered, will be in addition to the 10 weekly round-trip flights from both New York and Miami, five weekly flights from Chicago, and three weekly flights from Boston and Los Angeles. In addition, the Spanish carrier also flies four times a week from San Juan to Puerto Rico.
This is an excellent chance for Italian travelers to get an award ticket that is among the easiest to book and among the cheapest to redeem.
