Iberia Business Class Reviews (A330-300)
Our Iberia coverage is narrow and we would rather say so than pad it out. One flight, the A330-300 from Helsinki to Miami, flown as Iberia metal on a Finnair route, and written up the way we write every cabin: the seat we sat in, the ones we would book next time, the food, and whether the crew made any difference. The short version is that the mini-cabin layout does the work here, and an even-numbered window seat like 8L is what makes the flight.
Iberia also turns up on the deals side, usually paired with British Airways on transatlantic fares out of Madrid, so if the airline interests you as a way to get somewhere cheaply rather than as a cabin, the flight deals section is the better place to look. As we fly more of the fleet, the reviews will land here.
Frequently asked questions
What is Iberia A330-300 business class like?
We flew it as the aircraft Finnair used on the Helsinki to Miami route, and the layout works in its favour. It is split into a mini-cabin that feels private, and the even-numbered window seats such as 8L are the ones to pick. The seat sleeps well enough, though the footwell is narrow if you are tall. Entertainment was solid, the food average, and the service went through the motions.
Which Iberia seat should I choose on the A330?
An even-numbered window seat. In the staggered layout those are the ones set away from the aisle, which is what gives the seat its privacy, and 8L was the pick on our flight. Odd-numbered window seats sit closer to the aisle and lose that. If you are travelling as a pair, the middle seats keep you together instead.
