Apparently, It’s Illegal to Film Out the Window? My Iberia MAD-LHR Experience (A350-900) Just flew Iberia’s A350-900 in Business Class on the short hop from Madrid (MAD) to London Heathrow (LHR), and thought I’d share some thoughts — especially for anyone interested in catching a widebody on intra-European routes. Originally, this flight was scheduled to be operated by an A330, but there was a last-minute aircraft swap to the A350-900. No complaints there — same cabin layout (1-2-1), lie-flat seat, 18” 4K IFE — and a more modern feel overall. Flight time was just under 1 hour and 45...

Air Europa Business Class | Barcelona (BCN) to Madrid (MAD) (Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner) Hi all, I recently flew Air Europa Business Class on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Barcelona to Madrid — a short domestic hop, but on a widebody jet. A rare opportunity to try a long-haul aircraft on a sub-1-hour flight, and an interesting look into Air Europa’s premium product. Booking the Ticket This was a revenue ticket booked as part of a wider itinerary, but I was particularly excited for this leg as it was operated by the 787-9 Dreamliner — one of Air Europa’s flagship aircraft usually seen on...
