Iberia Fare Brands: Avios and Elite Points Earning

Avios on flights with an Iberia (IB) code are earned per euro of net spend: the fare and carrier charges, without taxes and fees. Your Iberia Club tier sets the rate.

• Example (Iberia's own): an Oro member buys a €950 ticket that is €860 after taxes and fees: 860 x 7 = 6,020 Avios. An €80 bag adds 560 Avios.
• Air Shuttle is the Madrid-Barcelona Puente Aéreo. The Latin America rates are for IB-coded flights operated by Iberia from or to Latin America.
• Iberia Express and Air Nostrum (Iberia Regional) earn the same 5 to 9 Avios per euro.
• Extras that earn: additional baggage, seat selection, cabin upgrades, pre-ordered meals, pet transport, the unaccompanied minor service and flexibility products.
• Other currencies are converted to euros at the IATA rate on the day the ticket is issued.
• Infinita and Infinita Prime are not in Iberia's Avios tables.
• No earning on Avios redemption tickets, or on flights operated by Alsa, Avanza Bus or Renfe. Negotiated fares, Biz Pro, Travel Club and oneworld products use separate charts.

Every member earns 1 Elite Point per euro of the same net spend, whatever the tier, plus these Extra Elite Points per flight (Basic earns none):

• Example: London to Madrid to New York in Economy Comfort on a €1,000 net fare earns 1,000 Elite Points on the spend, 125 on the flight to Madrid and 225 on the long-haul flight: 1,350 Elite Points.
• Extras such as bags and seats also earn 1 Elite Point per euro.
• When the spend is not known (negotiated fares, travel packages, Biz Pro, Travel Club, oneworld products), Iberia uses fixed tables by route or distance instead; see Iberia's FAQ.
• Partners: the Iberia Club's other partners and co-brand cards give 1 Elite Point per 10 Avios, up to 30% of each tier's requirement.

Elite Points and flights count from 1 April to 31 March. New members start at Clásica.

• Qualifying flights carry an Iberia (IB) or Iberia Express (I2) code, operated by Iberia or another airline in the Iberia Club programme, on fares eligible for Elite Points. Flights paid entirely with Avios do not count. Platino Prime cannot be reached with flights.
• Platino Prime lasts 2 years; it renews with 60,000 Elite Points over the card's validity or 30,000 in its last year. Plata and Oro last 1 year.
• Infinita gives Platino privileges for life, and Avios do not expire.
• Elite Rewards along the way: 1,250 Elite Points a €20 voucher; 2,500 Elite Points 1,500 Avios; 5,500 2,500 Avios; 11,000 4,000 Avios; 15,000 5,000 Avios; 18,000 double Elite Points on your next flights (up to 1,000 extra); 25,000 10,000 Avios; 40,000 an Oro card to give.
• Tiers are updated each 31 March, with the new benefits from 1 April.

How many Avios does an Iberia flight earn?

Avios are earned per euro of net spend: the fare and carrier charges, without taxes and fees. On IB-coded flights a Clásica member earns 5 per euro, Plata 6, Oro 7, Platino 8 and Platino Prime 9. The Madrid-Barcelona Air Shuttle earns one more per euro and flights operated by Iberia from or to Latin America two more.

How many Elite Points does an Iberia flight earn?

1 Elite Point per euro of the same net spend, for every tier, plus Extra Elite Points per flight on Optimal, Comfort and Flexible fares, by cabin and by whether the flight is up to or over 3,000 miles. For example, Economy Optimal earns 75 extra up to 3,000 miles and 150 over 3,000 miles; Business Flexible earns 275 and 500. Basic earns no extra.

How do I reach Plata, Oro, Platino or Platino Prime?

Between 1 April and 31 March: Plata needs 3,500 Elite Points or 20 flights, Oro 7,500 or 40 flights, Platino 20,000 or 90 flights, and Platino Prime 30,000 Elite Points. Infinita (400,000 Elite Points since joining) and Infinita Prime (640,000) are lifetime tiers.

Does Iberia publish booking class letters for its fares?

Not on its own pages. Iberia sells fare brands (Basic, Optimal, Comfort, Flexible and others), and Iberia Club earning depends on the spend, the brand, the cabin and the distance, not on a booking class letter.
