BUSINESS CLASS : the new Business class seat offers a comfortable format in the sitting/relaxing position, being arranged in pairs (2x2x2). The seats are the angled lie-flat type, and if you manage to secure a seat in the front row, the legrest comes more to the horizontal and offers a flatter sleeping surface. These are one of the better angled lie-flats, and there is less of the sliding down effect that one experiences with so many other airline angled lie-flat seats. Score : 8/10

Seat very comfortable in sitting and lie-flat positions. I managed 4 hours of sleep on an 11.5 hour flight between Madrid and Guatemala City. I am 1.8m tall and with the tilted seat I was glad that the seat in front was close enough that I plant my feet against it to prevent me from slipping. In Business Plus the service is good, though not as good as my experience with BA. Food is good and good choice of wines, but still not up to BA standards (my experience was pre the launch of new Business class). To listen to the video entertainment, I had to press my finger on the headphone connector for the entire flight because if I didn't then audio wasn't audible. That left me with a sore hand after some hours. Replacing headphones didn't work, so obviously problem was in the socket that you plug into. Also, as usual Iberia pays no attention to punctuality and makes no effort to organise the boarding process so it becomes a mad struggle.

The business class seats are within a rigid shell, arranged in 3 rows of 2 each. Because of the shell, there is no problem of reclining the seat into the lap (or laptop) of the person behind. The fully flat position does go under the seat in front, and this makes it difficult to have anything stored on the floor in the limited area available for that. There is actually much more floor storage available in the forward bulkhead seats. The motorized controls are easy to manipulate and there is a one button control that allows easy movement to the fully flat position. I found it necessary to use the footrest to maintain myself comfortably while sleeping. Also, the interior arm rest can be moved nearly entirely out of the way and that adds to the seat room, particularly in the fully reclined position. Overall, as comfortable a business seat as I have used across the Atlantic. Now, if there were only more commodious overhead storage.

MIA-MAD. I agree the seat is designed for short people. I am 6'2" and the headrest even though it moves up was jammed into my shoulder blades. Rows 6 and 7 (secondary business class cabin) is much more exclusive.

MEX-MAD-ATH in Business Plus. Flat bed was good compared with some other European airlines. Would recommend better pillows and blankets for business

The Iberia business class seat has been designed for short people - sitting in them is uncomfortable, sleeping is a bit better but nowhere near lie flat, the seat in front prevents the footrest to come up higher. Too bad they didn't space them out a bit more then it would be ok, like on the first row of the back part in the A 340-300.

Mad-Mvd-Mad- new business class seats on quite a number of occasions, the product is fine and quite comfy - now the service, punctuality and FA behaviour is something else. I wonder why with this new product IB is not getting their act together and offer a full good service. Food is bad and FA inconsistent!

Iberia is very lucky they have relatively decent seats because every other aspect leaves a lot to be desired. The food, the entertainment and the staff where poor to say the least.

To me the widest angled lie-flat seat I´ve recently flown. Massage options quite helpful when stretching after a good 5 hour sleep in my trip back to Spain. Food OK and winery highly recommendable.

What a disappointment this new Iberia seat is! Expected something that would be the premium business class that Iberia had advertised - they show the seat in ads as being flat, but that is a blatant lie. This is angled lie-flat you will slide off as you try to sleep, and there are many better options you can now choose - in Europe, British Airways or Virgin, and to S America it is worth looking at TAM who do have flat in Business class.

Madrid to Sao Paulo return. Iberia's most recent business class product is now comparable to the other major continental european carriers. The seats are not lie flat. Got around 3-4 hours sleep. Service was good even though cabin was full both ways. On return leg the IFE was malfunctioned and was eventually shut down.

Flew both the A340-600 and A340-300 recently. Iberia assured me all planes have now been outfitted with the new Business Plus seats, and both planes were. These seats are not completely flat. There's a downward bend at the knee and a slight raising of the head. I'm 6'1" and I couldn't stretch out fully; had to bend my knees. Also, your feet fit into an area in the back of the seat in front of you (or a hole in the bulkhead on the 300 in front). When I turned over, I had to pull my feet out of the nook, turn over, and then reinsert them.

The Business Plus class as they call it if fairly comfortable. The seats are not 100% flat, as someone else mentioned. There's a slight tilt around the knee region which is quite annoying,but it is good overall. Be carefull because they have not refurbished all their A340-300. I recently traveled from JNB to MAD in one of the older ones and it was BAD. Poor foot rest, head recline broken, not maps and no power ports.

Excellent seats - full flat bed recline and quite wide, with hooded / canopy for privacy. Good footrest, seat adjustment. Slept for over 7 hours - quite an achievement for me.

GRU-MAD and they still had the "old" 2-2-2 configuration Business Class seats on a new aircraft which were NOT flat not comfortable. VOD Entertainment good however and Food was average.

Airbus A340-300  First Class 

3 Star Rating

Pajamas, hotel style like slippers, big pillows, warm blankets, caring cabin staff, excellent catering and very comfortable seats all make Iberia's First Class a truly First Class experience. However an antiquated in-flight entertainment system, a lack of arrival lounges and the fact that flight crew do not refer to passengers by name does keep Iberia’s First Class a fair distance away from truly world-leading airlines.

Score:   3/5    (review by Alonso Reig)

Seat lays flat, foot rest is long enough (I'm 6'1") but foot rest doesn't quite raise up enough. Big blanket and soft big pillow help, along with PJs
