PREMIUM economy class will

be available on Iberia’s flights

between Johannesburg and

Madrid from April to October,

2019.

The new premium economy

class has 94cm seat-pitch

compared with 79cm in

economy class. The seats are

also wider at 48cm compared

with 43cm, and have a recline

of 18cm compared with 13cm

in economy. There are also

adjustable headrests and

reclining footrests, 20cm fullHD

screens, noise-cancelling

headphones, and connection

points for personal electronic

devices.

The flights will be operated

by an A330-300, with in-flight

services including a welcome

drink, special menu, table

linen, and a personalised

toiletries kit. Premium

economy passengers will

also be allowed two pieces

of luggage, at 23kg each

(instead of one), and will

have priority boarding and

disembarkation as well as

special check-in counters at

Madrid airport.

Iberia resumed operations

from Johannesburg to Madrid

in August 2016 with three

flights a week. Premium

economy class is already

available on the airline’s

flights from Madrid to Bogota,

Boston, Buenos Aires,

Chicago, Lima, Mexico City,
