Iberia
Our partnership with Iberia
Iberia is the flagship airline of Spain and a leading carrier between Europe and Latin America. When you fly on Iberia, you can earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles, plus, enjoy the benefits of your AAdvantage® status.
Earn miles
You can earn AAdvantage® miles when you fly on Iberia marketed and operated flights and Iberia codeshare flights operated by Iberia affiliate airlines Air Nostrum or Iberia Express, or other oneworld® carriers.
Here's how:
- Buy an eligible published fare ticket in an eligible booking code
- Fly an eligible route
When you earn eligible AAdvantage® miles for travel on Iberia, you’ll also earn Loyalty Points that count toward qualifying for AAdvantage® status.
Learn more about Loyalty Points
The number of miles you earn depends on the flight distance and the fare class of your ticket. For travel starting October 18, 2023, you will earn miles based on the ticket price.
Calculating miles based on ticket price
For travel on Iberia marketed flights, miles are earned based on ticket price (includes base fare plus carrier-imposed fees; excludes government-imposed taxes and fees). The more you spend, and the higher your AAdvantage® status, the more you'll earn.
