This promotion has ended; please review current/active promotions.

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 March 25, 2026. You can use this promotion to fly to Europe for as few as 6,400 Avios in basic economy.

Although this sale runs through December 2, 2025, you'll want to act fast to confirm availability. Here's everything you need to know about Iberia's Avios award sale.

Fly to or From Europe for as Little as 6,400 Iberia Avios

With Iberia's newest award travel promotion, you can fly throughout most of its network for up to 60% off through the end of March 2026. 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.

Iberia published a list of routes on sale and associated discount levels. Interestingly, every U.S. city is included on the list except for San Francisco. If you live in San Francisco and want to take advantage of the sale, you might consider taking a positioning flight to Los Angeles. This sale is also unique because you can find quite a few routes with discounts on premium economy or business class fares.

How to Book an Award Flight Through Iberia

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 next few months, so I could fly from Mexico City (MEX) to Madrid (MAD) any time through March for just 16,000 Avios round trip.

You also don't need to stick around Madrid or Barcelona. Iberia flies all throughout Europe, so you can score some exceptional award flights in economy or business class. For instance, a one-way domestic flight from Madrid (MAD) to Valencia (VLC) will cost as little as 1,400 Avios in economy or 3,900 Avios in business.

Or, you can head to Eastern Europe and explore Budapest for 3,800 Avios in economy or 8,800 Avios in business.

The options are really limitless, so you can get creative for your European getaway.

Boosting Your Iberia Balance

If you don’t have enough Avios for a redemption, you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards Points, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Wells Fargo 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.

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 December 2, 2025, you should book as soon as possible to lock in availability. Note that the sale is valid for flights through March 25, 2026, so you can get a jump on planning your spring travel.
