Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Iberia and Iberia Plus

Iberia Plus is the frequent flyer program for Iberia and Iberia Express. Like its sister airlines British Airways and Aer Lingus it uses Avios as its reward currency.

You can read more about Iberia Plus on the Iberia website here.
