Iberia Plus Avios Sale: Up to 20% Off Award Flights Until Tonight

Iberia Plus is offering up to 20% off the Avios needed to book award flights on selected Iberia Group routes, with the booking window closing tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026. The discount covers Iberia, Iberia Express, and Iberia Regional Air Nostrum flights, and critically, you can transfer Avios instantly from a British Airways Executive Club account into Iberia Plus to take advantage. Travel dates stretch as far as 18 March 2027, making this a useful opportunity to lock in long-haul and European business class at a reduced Avios cost.

The promotion offers three tiers of discount depending on the route and cabin. The deepest 20% cuts apply to a wide range of routes from Madrid, including several that will appeal to UK travellers connecting via MAD. Here is a summary of the offer structure:

The 20% discount tier covers routes including London, Manchester, Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Casablanca, Buenos Aires (Economy), Boston (Economy), New York (Economy), Washington (Economy), and a number of Spanish domestic routes in both Business and Economy. The 15% tier covers a much longer list of Latin American destinations in Economy plus a broad range of European short-haul routes in Business and Economy. The 10% tier applies mainly to long-haul Business class, including New York, Chicago, Toronto, Buenos Aires, and several South American cities.

To put the saving into context, it helps to know what Iberia typically charges in Avios. You can check exact Avios pricing for your route using the BA Avios Flight Calculator - Iberia routes price differently from BA metal, so always check the Iberia Plus website directly for the final Avios figure.

As a rough illustration: if a business class return from Madrid to Rome would normally cost around 30,000 Avios, a 20% reduction brings that down to 24,000 Avios. At a typical valuation of 1p per Avios, that is a saving worth around £60 in redemption value on a single booking. On a long-haul route where business class might ordinarily require 80,000 Avios return, a 10% saving reduces the cost to 72,000 Avios - equivalent to roughly £80 in Avios value.

For a more detailed look at what your Avios are worth before you transfer, the Avios Value Calculator can help you benchmark the redemption against a cash fare.

If your Avios are sitting in a British Airways Executive Club account, here is the process to take advantage:

Note that you must book by tonight - the discount applies at the time of booking, not at the time of travel. Flight dates can be up to 18 March 2027, so you are not committing to near-term travel.

This is the most important catch in the whole offer. Your Iberia Plus account must satisfy both of the following conditions before you can use transferred Avios at the discounted rate:

The second condition is the trickier one. Simply transferring Avios from BA does not count as 'earning' within Iberia Plus. If you have never flown Iberia or earned points via an Iberia-linked partner, you will need to have done so at some point in the past. Transferring a small number of hotel points to Iberia Plus is one way to satisfy this requirement if you have the flexibility - but given the offer closes tonight, this may not be possible in time if you have not already done it.

A few limitations worth being clear-eyed about:

For UK travellers, the most practical routes to target are those with 20% discounts connecting London or Manchester to Madrid, or return redemptions on European business class routes such as Rome, Milan, Florence, and Venice from Madrid. These represent genuinely good value if you are planning a trip to Spain or continental Europe via MAD in early 2027.

Yes - BA Avios transfer to Iberia Plus instantly. However, your Iberia Plus account must be at least 90 days old and must have earned at least 1 Avios directly within the programme before you can use transferred BA Avios at the discounted rate.

The booking window closes tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026. Travel can be booked up to 18 March 2027, excluding the Christmas and New Year period (18 December 2026 to 12 January 2027).

The 20% discount tier covers routes including London, Manchester, Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Casablanca, and select long-haul Economy routes to Buenos Aires, Boston, New York, and Washington - all departing from or arriving into Madrid.

Iberia Plus prices many routes - particularly within Europe and to Latin America - more cheaply in Avios than British Airways does for the same flights. Combining the instant BA to Iberia Plus transfer with a sale like this one can represent genuinely strong value, especially in business class on European routes. The key hurdle is meeting the account eligibility conditions.

This is a solid Avios sale from Iberia Plus, with up to 20% off across a genuinely wide range of routes including European business class and long-haul Economy. The main constraints are the account eligibility rules and the fact that the booking deadline is tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026. If your Iberia Plus account is at least 90 days old and you have earned Avios in it previously, this is worth acting on now - particularly for travel to Italy, Portugal, or Latin America in the first quarter of 2027. Transfer your BA Avios, check the Iberia Plus award search, and book before midnight.
