Iberia is Spain’s national airline, offering nonstop flights from various airports in the U.S. For the next few weeks, the airline is offering major discounts of up to 60% off when booking flights using Avios, its loyalty currency.

Some one-way tickets between the U.S. and Madrid are available for just 6,400 Avios, meaning an end-of-year or early 2026 trip to Spain could definitely fit into your budget.

Don’t wait, though. Availability, especially around peak holiday dates, is already limited. Here’s what you need to know to book this deal.

Iberia Avios Sale — The Details

Iberia’s Avios sale offers up to 60% off flights, which means you can get between Europe and the U.S. for practically nothing.

Here’s a closer look:

  • Class: Basic economy and economy
  • Routes: Between U.S. cities and Madrid, flying nonstop
  • Cost: From 6,400 Avios per person
  • Travel dates: Now until March 25, 2026
  • Booking deadline: December 2, 2025 (but book fast to get the best deals and date availability)
  • Discount applies to both one-way and round-trip bookings

The cheapest prices are available on basic economy tickets (meaning no checked bag or seat selection is included), paying 6,400 Avios from Chicago and East Coast cities like this one from Boston:

Regular economy tickets start at 10,000 Avios from the East Coast. Basic economy flights from Los Angeles start at 12,500 Avios per person.

Note that you’ll need to be logged in to your Club Iberia Plus account to search. Otherwise, you won’t see these discounted award rates.

There are also discounts of up to 60% on Avios redemptions when flying from various locations to/from Madrid, such as other locations in Europe or even locations in South America. There are also lower discounts on some routes, but the 60% savings applies to Iberia’s routes to and from the U.S. The deal works in both directions and applies to both one-way and round-trip bookings.

Bottom Line:

This deal works for flights to Madrid, from Madrid, or even round-trip bookings. You’ll pay fewer Avios on shorter flights, thanks to Iberia’s distance-based award chart. From the U.S. East Coast, flights are available starting at 6,400 Avios one-way per person.

How To Book

Although Iberia’s website isn’t the most intuitive, booking these award flights is relatively simple. First, you must have a Club Iberia Plus account and be logged in. Add your cities to the booking page, then check the box that says “Pay With Avios.”

You can toggle through different dates or view the monthly calendar to find dates and prices that work for you.

Transfer Credit Card Points to Iberia

Luckily, earning Iberia Avios is fairly simple, thanks to its U.S. credit card (issued by Chase) and the option to transfer points. You can transfer to Iberia from Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy.

You also can transfer Avios to Iberia from other Avios programs via Avios.com, using programs from British Airways, Finnair, Vueling, Aer Lingus, and Qatar Airways — instantly and at no cost. That’s useful if you have Avios in those other programs already. If you have Capital One miles, you can transfer them to British Airways or Qatar and then move them to Iberia.

Final Thoughts

Iberia’s Avios deal is an incredible opportunity, especially if you’re willing to fly economy or basic economy. The holidays are usually an expensive and stressful time to travel — but not if you plan to snap up one of these great deals to Madrid. And since Iberia has recently upped its award rates, this is an amazing way to pay a much lower price.

If you’re saying yes to all of this, book soon. This promotion applies to bookings made through December 2, 2025, but awards will likely be snapped up quickly at these rates.
