If you're itching to fly to (or from) Europe, we have some excellent news for you. Iberia just launched an incredible 60% off award promotion for flights through December 31, 2025. You can use this promotion to fly to Europe for as few as 6,400 Avios in basic economy.
Although this sale runs through November 16, 2025, you'll want to act fast to confirm availability. Plus, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards Points to Iberia with a 30% bonus through October 31, 2025, so it's worth booking as soon as possible.
Here's everything you need to know about Iberia's Avios award sale.

Fly to or From Europe for as Little as 6,400 Avios
With Iberia's award travel promotion, you can fly throughout most of Iberia's network for up to 60% off through the end of the year. And since Iberia uses a distance-based award chart, you can reasonably anticipate how many Avios you'll need to spend for the route you have in mind. Thankfully, much of the eligible travel period for this promotion is during off-peak dates.
Even after Iberia's award chart devaluation earlier this year, you can find some excellent deals through this promotion.
To get some inspiration on where you can go, check out Iberia's route map. Iberia flies to nine U.S. destinations from its hubs in Madrid and Barcelona:
- Madrid (MAD) to Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), Washington, DC (IAD), Chicago (ORD), Orlando (MCO), Miami (MIA), Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO)
- Barcelona (BCN) to Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), Miami (MIA), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO)
Note that some of these routes might be seasonal, so if you don't see any availability during the promotion period, that could be why. Although there are a few routes within Europe that show a discount on business class tickets, this promotion is overwhelmingly for economy fares.
Key Terms
- Promotion is valid on bookings from October 9 to November 16, 2025.
- Promotion travel window is from October 13 to December 31, 2025.
- Awards can be booked one-way or round-trip.
- Taxes and fees are excluded from the promotion.
- The offer will not apply to Vueling or Level flights.
How To Book Your Flight
To take advantage of this promotion, you'll want to visit Iberia's website, log in to your account, and enter your flight details. Iberia's website is notoriously finicky, so be patient if you don't see any availability — you might just need to change your dates. The discount will automatically be reflected in the advertised fare, so you don't need to do anything special to book a sale award.
As we already mentioned, Iberia uses a distance-based award chart, with prices for peak and off-peak dates. After the up to 60% discount, and booking during off-peak dates, routes under 4,000 miles will cost just 6,400 Avios in economy. There are five routes between the U.S. and Spain that fall in this 4,000-mile distance band:
- Boston (BOS) — Barcelona (BCN)
- Boston (BOS) — Madrid (MAD)
- New York (JFK) — Barcelona (BCN)
- New York (JFK) — Madrid (MAD)
- Washington DC (IAD) — Madrid (MAD)
Routes between 4,001 and 5,500 miles one-way will cost a slightly higher 8,000 Avios in economy. There are another five routes between the U.S. and Spain that fall in this distance band:
- Chicago (ORD) — Madrid (MAD)
- Dallas (DFW) — Madrid (MAD)
- Miami (MIA) — Madrid (MAD)
- Miami (MIA) — Barcelona (BCN)
- Orlando (MCO) — Madrid (MAD)
Keep in mind that this promotion isn't only for flights between the U.S. and Spain. I'll be living in Mexico City, Mexico, for the rest of the year, so I could fly from Mexico City (MEX) to Madrid (MAD) over Thanksgiving for just 16,000 Avios round trip.
You also don't need to stick around in Spain. Iberia flies all throughout Europe, so you can score some exceptional award flights in economy or business class. For instance, a one-way flight from Madrid (MAD) to Porto (OPO) will cost as little as 1,400 Avios in economy or 3,900 Avios in business.
Or, you can head to the Christmas markets in Munich for 2,600 Avios in economy or 6,600 Avios in business.
The options are really limitless, so you can get creative for your European holiday getaway.
Boosting Your Iberia Balance
If you don’t have enough Avios for a redemption, you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, or Chase Ultimate Rewards to Iberia Club at a 1:1 ratio. Or, you can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to Iberia Avios at a 3:1 ratio, with a 5,000-Avios bonus for transferring 60,000 Bonvoy points.
The best option, at least until October 31, would be to transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards to Iberia with a 30% bonus. That means you could score a one-way flight for as low as 5,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
Keep in mind that you can also easily transfer your Avios between Avios-earning accounts. If you have a few thousand points sitting in your British Airways, Qatar, and Aer Lingus accounts, you can quickly transfer them to your Iberia account, and you might have enough for a round-trip ticket.

Final Thoughts
Simply put, this is an excellent deal for award travel to Europe. Iberia already offers great award pricing on off-peak award flights between the U.S. and Europe. After taking 60% off these rates, these award prices are truly exceptional. It's not often you can fly on a trans-Atlantic flight for just a few thousand miles, especially during the holidays.
You'll want to act fast — although you can technically book your flight until November 16, 2025, you should book as soon as possible to lock in availability and take advantage of the Chase transfer bonus. Note that the sale is valid for flights through December 31, 2025, so you won't be able to use it to spend New Year's abroad (unless you pay for a full-priced award ticket for your return flight).
