Best Ways To Book

The best way to book these business class awards is by redeeming Iberia Avios.

Even though Iberia recently raised the number of Avios you need for most flights, finding off-peak flights to Spain for 40,500 Avios in business class is still a good deal. You’ll pay 40,500 Avios on off-peak dates from the East Coast, but you’ll pay 50,500 from the middle of the country or 60,500 from the West Coast. Those prices jump to 59,000, 74,000, and 88,500 Avios, respectively, on peak travel dates.

Some of these routes even feature Iberia’s new business class suites with doors. Luckily, earning Iberia Avios is pretty easy.

You can earn Avios from flights with Iberia and its Oneworld partners, from Iberia’s U.S. credit card, and from numerous transfer partners. You can send the following to Iberia at a 1:1 ratio: Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Wells Fargo Rewards.

Plus, since you transfer Avios freely and instantly between programs that share this currency, you also can use British Airways Club and Qatar Airways Privilege Club as methods to get Capital One miles and Citi ThankYou Points over to your Iberia account.

Update:

This award alert is perfect for anyone eyeing a summer 2026 trip to Spain. Business class seats are tough to come by during peak season, so your best shot is booking this far in advance.
