New Iberia Flights Provide Quick Escape Between London, Barcelona and Madrid

The addition of extra flights between Madrid, Barcelona and London City Airport has come about due to Iberia's codeshare agreement with British Airways

Spanish airline Iberia has revealed that it is to begin new flights from two Spanish cities to London's City Airport. Offering residents of the UK's capital a quick escape to the sunnier climes of the Mediterranean, the move has come about due to Iberia's code share agreement with British Airways (BA) and will increase London City as a favourable departure location for many.

Acting under a code share with BA subsidiary CityFlyer, Iberia will offer flights to both Barcelona and Madrid. Whilst Iberia already provides 13 daily services between London Heathrow and Madrid, the newest additions will offer city slickers a quick and stress free way of getting out of the metropolis and into the sun of Spain. Putting its IB code on two daily flights from Madrid's Terminal 4 hub, Iberia will provide extra services throughout the week apart from Sunday. Meanwhile an additional daily flight with the IB stamp will fly between Barcelona's Terminal 1 and London City.

The move will increase the services between London and Spain even more, offering tourists and business travellers a range of alternative travel times and flights. In addition to the existing Madrid flights London Heathrow already hosts seven daily flights to Barcelona. But as London City Airport becomes increasingly popular for urban dwellers, the latest additional services will no doubt prove highly poplar with those wanting a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
