How to choose seats on iberia airlines.

June 30, 2022 by Craig Sowerby

Many people come across Iberia Airlines’ notoriously bad IT when they attempt to make use of their Oneworld elite status benefits. Even though Oneworld elites are entitled to free seat selection on Iberia flights – including Iberia Express, Iberia Regional and Air Nostrum – the airline often attempts to charge for seat selection.

Until recently, I have never had a problem personally with using my Oneworld status to pre-select a seat. Occasionally it might not work the first time, but eventually Iberia’s systems would recognize my elite status and allow me to choose a seat. I have regularly wondered why it wouldn’t work for everybody, and why some people have resorted to all kinds of wacky schemes in order to select a seat.

For my latest trip on Iberia, I have had the same difficulties as others – but I believe that I have found an easy solution. It requires downloading the Iberia App to your phone…

Step 1 – Find Your Booking Using the Iberia App

Step 2 – Select Seats Using the App

When you manage your Iberia booking using their App, you should be able to easily find where to choose seats…

Even though Iberia’s App wants to charge you for seat selection, you can choose seats nonetheless.

Once you confirm your seat selection – without entering any payment details – you can return to the initial Manage Your Booking page, where you should see that your seat selection is confirmed.

Step 3 – Double-check on your Computer

If you Manage My Booking on a computer, you should find that your seat selection appears to have “stuck”. Even though you never actually paid for the seats…

Bottom Line

I can’t say for sure whether I will be sitting in seats 11C and 12C when I actually take my flights. But several days after using this little trick to pre-select my seats, things are looking good…

So did that work? We booked our first flight on Iberia tonight and almost throw a few electronic devices with how buggy the website is. Attempted this suggestion since my boyfriend has platinum pro on American and now we see seats. Crossing fingers!

August 2, 2022 at 11:22 pm

Yes. My seat assignment stayed the same throughout…

August 23, 2022 at 2:01 am

Awesome. I did not enter any payments and the seats still appear to be there. I am Plat with AA. Hope this works

August 29, 2022 at 7:32 am

I’m having the same issue. On the app, I cant choose the seat at all. On the website, I could choose it but only if I pay. I’m Finnair Platinum (Emerald). I’ll keep trying 🙂

October 20, 2022 at 4:31 pm

Craig, very excited to see your article, given the extreme frustration I am experiencing with Iberia, not only in obtaining seat assignments for flights from France back to DFW in Oct ’23, but the overall service (or lack thereof) offered by their call center agents – multiple calls, each has a different reason for my inability to obtain, but with no viable solution other than wait until check-in.

So, in following your steps, I am immediately ‘halted’ because my interface with Iberia app does not match yours. I have no icons for ‘Seats’, ‘Insurance’ or ‘Special Equipment’, thus I am unable to execute your directions further. I have deleted and reloaded app several times…does not appear to be any other options of Iberia apps within Apple Store.

Would very much appreciate any ideas, suggestions or other alternatives.

October 21, 2022 at 4:24 am

First of all, Iberia doesn’t allow you to pre-select seats so far in advance. It won’t be available until Iberia decides which airplane types are actually assigned to each route. That should happen in early 2023.

Secondly, the App work-around has stopped working for elite members. However, I suspect that you booked October 2023 using miles – and award tickets usually come with seat selection. So it’s just a question of patience…

September 17, 2023 at 9:29 am

Hello, I’m in the same boat as ANDREW WINGERT — I can’t get a seat assg thru any means, the app, the website or thru American AIrlines. Flight is in a month MAD-DFW (Oct 2023). An 11.5 hr flight will be rough is I’m stuck in the middle seat… Thanks for any help you can give me.

October 21, 2022 at 11:22 am

Craig, thank you so much for the info and very quick response!

September 17, 2023 at 9:33 am

PS I’m using aa miles, and every time I’ve called Iberia, their agents give me a different reason they can’t assign a seat, and said I must wait to check in AT THE AIRPORT, not even online. One blamed it on the booking code, another on the airport itself, another on the fact is was too early. And the flight looks like it will be full.

September 17, 2023 at 10:01 am

Do you have elite status? Or do you just want to pay for a seat? Or are you just hoping that an AA award ticket includes seat selection on Iberia?

Did you call AA to get the PNR valid for Iberia? It should be 6 numbers / digits and will be different to AA’s record locator.

I’m booked on a MAD-JFK flight in April that I booked through American. Paid for business class seats. When I tried to get my seat assignment with IB on their website, it wanted to charge me anywhere from $43 to $52. So obnoxious considering what I’ve already shelled out for the fare and I’m AA Platinum Pro! I tried your trick: Chose the seat on the app, didn’t enter payment details, then backed out. When I check my flight on the IB site it shows a “balance due” but of $36.82 – a bit less than the originally quoted fee. Strange! I’m not paying – we’ll see what happens when I check in at the airport. Wish me luck!

Seat Assignments on Iberia Airline

We booked & are flying on American Airlines for our March trip to Europe. The Frankfurt portion is on American & but we are coming back from Rome on Iberia Airlines (via Madrid). Any ideas on how to get seat assignments on Iberia? I've tried E-mailing them & checking their website & have come up empty.

Unlike U.S. based airlines, most European carriers, on intra-European flights, don't assign seats until you check-in for your flight or not until you get to the gate.

On Iberia you get your seat when you check in. This can be done online beginning one day before your flight and up to 2 hours before it.

Even if you have your seat assignment selected months in advance, the airline may still change it without notice, perhaps more than once. I might recommend familiarizing yourself with the equipment's seat configuration for your flight using www.seatguru.com . That way, you'll have a good idea of the seats that are acceptable to you when you check in online. Not sure about Iberia, but you can typically change seat assignments right online as you're checking in if what you've been given doesn't work for you. Also, it wouldn't hurt to call Iberia now and ask if they can assign you now (but it could change). Good luck.

I hate to break it to you, but Iberia are among the worst airlines I have flown on, especially when it comes to customer service. I was traveling on my own with 2 babies, and got stuck in the back of the plane while a bunch of single and healthy travelers got the bulked and the bassinets were wasted. All the arguing in the world wouldn't make them budge. Good luck!

Regarding electronic seat requests....just be aware this doesn't mean you're going to get those seats. It's just a notation on your record that you'd prefer a certain type of seat. No seat is guaranteed until check in.

Some airlines do their best to honor your requests, others see them as a way to keep the customer happy but ignores them when assigning seats.

I'd suggest checking in early to get the seats you want.

This is what you do. Go to seatguru.com go get a general idea of the seating configuration (Out of Madrid into the US they probably fly an airbus 340). Then call American (as many times as needed to get a "nice" agent on the line) and ask them to send an electronic seat request to Iberia. It takes about 30 seconds. I just did it today for my March trip as I am also flying Iberia out Madrid. I didn't know this was possible until the airline representative herself offered to do it. And yes, I have also heard less than inspiring comments about Iberia but I am flying on an award ticket....cheap. I'll take a chance. Happy travels.

My wife and I got assigned seats on Iberia at check-in with no problems. BTW, don't be scared off by the impressions some may have of Iberia. We have flown Iberia for two recent trips to Europe after getting bargain airfares. We found that Iberia isn't any worse than most US airlines, so why not pay less for mediocre-but-ok service? We got to our destinations safely and on-time -- that's all we hope for. One thing I would suggest: be patient and allow plenty of time for check-in -- took us 45 minutes in line just to get to an Iberia agent. Have a great trip.

Frank II is spot on with his comments. An example: I just returned from Madrid last week, and, while seat assignments for the long-haul over and back remained as selected months in advance, the short-hauls changed twice without notice for each leg just a few days before the trip (actually three times each b/c I changed one leg online upon check-in prior to leaving home and the other at Barajas when checking in at the counter. Regardless of airline, it's just the way it is. My best advice in this area is to call and get the assignments now, call a couple of days before your flight to confirm, and call again the day of your flight or just review it and edit as necessary when you check in online. Good luck!

Also, I've never flown Iberia, but the reviews aren't that bad...mixed bag. Nothing like Alitalia.

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. I've looked @ www.seatguru.com & checked out the airbus seating options. I'll try to contact American to get advanced seating assignments, but it was good to hear that we could still get decent seats w/check-in. Any idea of how the food is on Iberia? Should we bring our own snacks or is the food decent?

Regarding the food on Iberia, we found it to be on par with other major American airlines. And that's to say if it were served at a family meal, we wouldn't be clamoring for seconds.

Do I have to pay to choose a seat?

Whether your seat selection is free or you’ll have to pay extra depends on a range of factors, including the fare you choose and your cabin of travel.

You can choose your seat for free from 24 hours before departure when check-in opens, unless you’ve booked a Basic ticket (economy, hand-baggage only) where your seat is allocated to you.

With a Basic ticket (economy, hand baggage only), you can either:

• Pay to choose your seat from when you book until check-in opens, or
• We’ll allocate you a seat for free when check-in opens. You can then pay to change to a different seat, although your choice may be limited.

If you’re an Executive Club Member, you’ll collect Avios if you pay to choose your seat on a British Airways flight. You’ll collect at least six Avios per pound (GBP) spent. Find out more about collecting Avios on flights .

You may be entitled to choose your seat for free if you fall into one of the following groups.

Travelling in First

It’s free from the time of booking to choose a seat in our First cabin.

Executive Club Members

As an Executive Club one world® frequent flyer Member you're able to choose seats at different stages, depending on your tier.

You must be travelling on the booking, or in the case of Gold Members, one of the bookings, for these benefits to apply. They apply to British Airways-operated flights only and are not available on group rate bookings.

On some occasions, exit row seats on short-haul flights may not be available in advance due to operational reasons.

Gold/oneworld Emerald

Enjoy free seat selection when booking for everyone in your party. This includes friends and family on other bookings who are travelling with you in the same travel class and on the same flight.

Silver/oneworld Sapphire

Enjoy free seat selection – excluding exit row seats on long-haul flights – from the time of booking for everyone in your party. Exit row seats on long-haul flights can be selected for free from 24 hours before departure.

Bronze/oneworld Ruby

Enjoy free seat selection – excluding exit row seats – from seven days before departure for everyone in your party. Exit row seats can be selected for free from 24 hours before departure.

Enjoy free seat selection from 24 hours before departure, excluding exit row seats and not including travel on basic fares. Seats can be purchased from the time of booking.

Flexible tickets

Tickets with increased flexibility allow you to make certain changes to the date and time of your flight. They also include free seat selection.

• Fully Flexible fares (Y/W/J class) allow you to choose seats for free from the time of booking.
• Short haul Plus fares allow you to choose seats for free from 48 hours before departure.

You choose your flexibility when you buy your flights.

Choosing seats together on separate tickets

You can see which seats are still available together to choose for free from 24 hours before your flight, when online check-in opens.

However, if you are travelling with others on different bookings, you can pay in advance to choose specific seats to ensure you sit together for your flight. Just log in to Manage My Booking .

Flying with children

To get the best choice of seats and make sure your family sits together, it’s best to choose your seats in advance. You might have to pay to do this.

If you don’t choose your seats in advance

We’ll do our best to seat your family together by assigning seats a few days before your flight departs. However, seat selection may be limited at that time and your seats may be split across different rows or the aisle. We'll make sure each child under 12 years sits next to an adult from your booking but children over 12 years are booked as an adult in our system and may sit separately.

Travelling with an infant under two

Seats are free when you fly with an infant under two who won't be travelling in a seat of their own. You can choose a seat for you and everyone in your party free of charge as soon as you've made your booking, except for bookings of over nine people. One person in your group and the infant will be able to choose a carrycot/seat position, subject to availability. The remainder of your party will be able to select other seats for free.

Travelling with a disability

There's no charge for choosing your seat if you have a specific seating requirement because of your disability.

How to book your seat

In most cases, you can select your seat using Manage My Booking, but sometimes you may need to contact us, like for some non-visible disabilities. Here's what you need to do.

• Book your flight
• We recommend that you let us know about the assistance you require at least 48 hours before your flight leaves. Once you have notified us that you require additional assistance, go to Manage My Booking and click on 'Seating' within the flight details section
• Select your seat, and if you need any help, please contact us

Travelling in large groups

Groups of more than nine people.

When you travel as a group, we’ll allocate your seats free of charge. While we'll try to seat your party together, we can't always guarantee it, particularly if your group is split across separate bookings.

To ensure your group is seated together, or if you would like specific seats, you can pay to choose your seats in advance. This applies to groups booked in the UK and Ireland only.

Paying for a seat

How much will it cost.

The cost of selecting a seat varies depending on the type of seat and the cabin you're travelling in. Prices are available when booking your flight or in Manage My Booking. You can pay in advance using a credit or debit card or by using Avios on British Airways-operated flights.

It may not be possible to choose bulkhead seats, as they're usually reserved for customers with a disability or those travelling with an infant.

Payments at the airport

Like many airlines, we only accept debit or credit card payments at many of the airports we operate from, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and North America.

Pay with Avios

You can use your Avios to pay for seats in advance via Manage My Booking , with full or part payment options available. This is available for British Airways-operated flights and gives you more ways to spend your Avios.

As an Executive Club Bronze, Silver or Gold Member you can choose seats for free in many instances. For more information see our terms and conditions below.

Changes and refunds

If you’ve paid to choose a seat and we're unable to offer you that seat or a suitable alternative when you board your flight, you can claim a refund. See our terms and conditions for paid seating below.

Booking an extra seat for additional space

You can buy an extra ticket to keep the seat next to you free, for reasons like requiring additional personal space or to secure a fragile or precious item, such as a musical instrument or painting.

An item must fit in the seat, otherwise it will need to be checked into the hold. Find out more about baggage .

How to book an extra seat

• Please contact us  or your travel agent to make a booking for an extra seat as this type of booking cannot be made online.
• If you arrive at the airport and haven't booked an extra seat in advance, please speak to a member of British Airways staff. If there are seats available in the cabin you are travelling in, you may be able to buy an extra seat.
• At many airports, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and some in North America, you can only pay using a card. Please check with a member of our staff at the airport to find out if options are available for converting cash to a payment card.

Additional personal space and safety

If you would like the seat next to you to be kept free for additional personal space, you can buy it as an extra seat for comfort.

You'll need to buy yourself an extra seat for comfort if:

• You're travelling in economy and need more space to easily fasten your seatbelt for take-off, landing or during periods of turbulence, or
• You're unable to fully lower both armrests of your seat. It's a safety requirement to have a fully lowered armrest between each passenger during take-off, landing and turbulence.

We can give you an extension seatbelt if you need it.

Please note:

• An extra seat doesn't give additional seat width – see our seat dimensions guide below for the minimum seat widths on our aircraft.
• On most of our long-haul aircraft, the armrests in the economy cabin don't fold away into the seat back completely. They stop at an angle of 45 degrees when lifted and can't be raised further.
• There must be a fully lowered armrest between each passenger during take-off, landing and turbulence. 
• Armrests are fixed in our First, business (Club World) and premium economy (World Traveller Plus) cabins and can't be raised or lowered.
• You can't buy an extra seat for comfort at the bulkhead or on an exit row.
• You won't be able to buy an extra seat on a British Airways-operated flight if your journey includes a flight operated by another airline.

Choosing seats with our partner airlines

If you book with us for a flight operated by American Airlines, Finnair, Iberia, JAL or Qantas, you can choose your seats in Manage My Booking .

If you’re flying with one of our one world alliance partners and are an Executive Club Gold/oneworld Emerald Member, a Silver/Sapphire Member, or a Bronze/Ruby Member, you can contact your local British Airways customer centre to choose a seat for that flight.

In all other cases when you're flying with one of our partner airlines, please contact them directly to choose your seat.

Please note that you cannot use Avios to pay for seats on flights that are operated by our partner airlines.

If you paid to choose a seat on a flight operated by any of our partner airlines and would like to get a refund, please contact them directly.

Friday is the last day for candidate filing in Idaho for seats up for a vote this fall.

The race for Moscow City Council seats is getting more crowded as two candidates filed on Thursday.  Incumbent Drew Davis filed for re-election and Evan Holmes filed for a seat.  There are three Moscow City Council seats up for election in November.  Incumbent Sandra Kelly is running for re-election.  Bryce Blankenship, Joe Campbell and Nathan Tupper are also running for a seat.  The top three vote getters will earn seats on Moscow City Council.  One of the posts up for election is currently held by Maureen Laflin.

Elsewhere in Latah County Genesee Mayor John Hermann has filed for re-election.

There are dozens of small taxing district seats up for a vote this fall locally in Idaho.  No candidates have filed yet for mayor in Bovill, Deary, Onaway, Potlatch and Troy.  Positions up for a vote include school boards, city council seats, fire district commissions, parks and recreation district boards and cemetery boards.  Candidate filing is done with each small taxing district office.
