[Award Alert] Fly to and From Spain for 5,000 Points per Person With This Iberia Award Sale

Iberia is Spain’s national airline, offering nonstop flights to Spain from various airports in the U.S. Through the end of 2025, 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 a holiday trip (Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s) to Spain could definitely fit into your budget. Plus, with a current transfer bonus, you could book these flights starting at 5,000 points per person.

Don’t wait, because 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 sample, nonstop flight in November between Chicago (ORD) and Madrid (MAD) for 6,400 Avios in economy.

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 before the transfer bonus
• Travel dates: Now until December 31, 2025
• Booking deadline: November 16, 2025 (but book fast to get the best deals and date availability)

These are basic economy tickets (meaning no checked bag or seat selection is included), and you’ll find the following prices to/from Madrid, per person:

• 6,400 Avios: New York City (JFK), Chicago (ORD), Washington Dulles (IAD), San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU), and Boston (BOS)
• 8,000 Avios: Miami (MIA), Los Angeles (LAX), and Dallas (DFW)

Regular economy tickets start at 10,000 Avios. And while the dates leading up to Christmas have sparse availability, there are still some affordable options for a Thanksgiving European getaway, like this 8,000-Avios option from Dallas (DFW).

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 Madrid to Latin American and Caribbean hubs, such as Mexico City, Santo Domingo, Bogotá, or Montevideo. You’ll also see up to 60% off Avios rates between Madrid and Doha, select European cities, and certain Spanish locales.

For example, flights from Santo Domingo (SDQ) or Bogotá (BOG) to Madrid start at 8,000 Avios, from Florence at 5,000 Avios, from Doha (DOH) at 6,400 Avios, and from Lisbon (LIS) at just 1,400 Avios each way in basic economy.

I couldn’t find any significant discounts for premium economy or business class awards between the U.S and Madrid, though this could always change. However, I did find some affordable business availability for other destinations, such as Lisbon (LIS).

In general, availability for dates leading up to Christmas is scarce, as shown in this monthly map of tickets from New York (JFK).

However, if you want to ring in the New Year in Spain, you might be able to score a deal. Just remember that your flight back home in 2026 may not be as affordable, as the discounted tickets are only valid until the end of 2025.

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.

And right now, there’s a 30% transfer bonus from Chase to Iberia, available through October 31, 2025. Using this transfer bonus, you could send 5,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Club Iberia Plus to get 6,500 Avios — unlocking those 6,400-Avios redemption rates discussed above. For flights costing 8,000 Avios, transfer 7,000 Chase points (transfers must be done in increments of 1,000).

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. Just remember that if you fly to Spain at the end of 2025, you’ll likely need to pay full price for an award ticket when you return in 2026.

If you’re saying yes to all of this, book soon. This promotion applies to bookings made through November 16, 2025, but awards will likely be snapped up quickly at these rates. Plus, the 30% transfer bonus that makes this deal even better only lasts until October 31.
