Last year, Iberia Airlines announced three new routes to the United States. For the summer 2022 season, Iberia would fly between Madrid and:

• Washington, DC (IAD)
• Dallas / Fort Worth (DFW)
• San Francisco (SFO)

However, no firm starting dates were announced for these routes. Now we know… June 1st.

These flights will operate on the following days:

• Washington DC – Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
• Dallas – Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays
• San Francisco – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

For savvy Avios collectors, this is excellent news for two reasons:

1) Transferring Avios to Iberia Plus in order to book Iberia flights to the USA (particularly in Business Class) is one of the best value redemptions still around.

Off-Peak pricing (one way) to Washington is:

• 17,000 Avios – Economy
• 25,500 Avios – Premium Economy
• 34,000 Avios – Business Class

Peak date pricing (one way)

• 20,000 Avios – Economy
• 35,000 Avios – Premium Economy
• 50,000 Avios – Business Class

Off Peak pricing to San Francisco and Dallas (one way) is:

• 21,250 Avios – Economy
• 31,750 Avios – Premium Economy
• 42,500 Avios – Business Class

Peak date pricing (one way)

• 25,000 Avios – Economy
• 43,750 Avios – Premium Economy
• 62,500 Avios – Business Class

Taxes/surcharges generally work out at roughly £100 each way.

Iberia typically releases two Business Class award seats per flight. So if you hurry, you should be able to grab some excellent value reward flights to the United States this summer…
