Convenient, easy and digital so you can travel with peace of mind and the same confidence as always.
We'll help you with the arrangements: If the destination you are travelling to requires proof of a PCR test taken within a certain number of hours or days before departure, Quirónprevención provides this service at a special price for Iberia customers.

Wherever possible, check in online to get your boarding pass before you go to the airport and download it to your phone.
The authorities require you to accept a Health declaration to confirm that you have no symptoms, have not been diagnosed with COVID-19, have not been in direct contact with anyone who has the disease, and are not under mandatory quarantine. You can access the form during online check-in or at the airport. Remember, if you have any symptoms, please stay away from the airport and get in touch with us.
If you are travelling to Spain from abroad, you will have to fill in a “Health control form” in the 48 hours before your flight. You can either fill in the form on the website www.spth.gob.es or download the app to your phone. You will need to enter your seat number on the form, so we recommend that you check in online first. When you have filled in the form, you'll receive a QR code to download or print. You must show this code on arrival.
To plan your journey as smoothly as possible, be sure to check in advance the restrictions and requirements currently in place in different countries.
In line with the current regulations, the use ofa surgical mask or one providing greater protection (without an exhalation valve), covering the nose and mouth, is compulsory for everyone aged six and over when boarding the plane and throughout the flight.
You should also take enough masks for the duration of the journey.
Passengers who cannot use the obligatory face mask for exceptional health reasons must contact the Iberia medical service.
If you are flying to the USA or Latin America from Madrid, you should report to check-in 4 hours before departure. For all other destinations, you should arrive 2 and a half hours in advance.
For your safety, the airports authority has reinforced the cleaning procedure with special products for all customer contact points.
You can also take hand sanitiser on board provided you follow the rules on liquids in hand baggage. We advise you to take enough to last the flight, not your stay at the destination.
To respect the social distancing measures, we've introduced a new queueing system for check-in and boarding and installed screens at all customer service points. Besides, all our staff use personal protective equipment.
Please remember to keep a safe distance at all times and avoid physical contact with other people and surfaces.
At the airport, wherever possible use our self-service kiosks to check in your bag or print your boarding pass.
Remember, you can check in your hand baggage free of charge (except for Iberia Regional Air Nostrum flights) to minimise contact on board and travel more comfortably.
Airport security controls may take longer than usual so please get to the airport in good time.
We'll call families with infants and passengers who need special assistance first. Immediately after that, we'll call passengers by group. Each group has a number indicating the order of priority for boarding the plane. Please check your boarding pass to see your boarding group.
Check all the information in boarding procedure.
Once you have gone through the security filter, you will reach the boarding area.
You may find that many of the restaurants and shops are closed. The vending machines may also be out of order.
Remember, if you are not wearing the obligatory face mask, we will be obliged to deny you boarding.
Passengers who cannot use the obligatory face mask for exceptional health reasons must contact the Iberia medical service.
Unfortunately, some of our VIP lounges are currently closed. At Madrid - Barajas airport you will be able to enjoy at the Premium Lounge Dalí, situated in T4, Terminal building, and the Velázquez Premium Lounge, in T4S, Satellite building, with complete peace of mind and confidence because we've implemented a set of exceptional measures.
The air in our cabins is renewed every three minutes, removing 99.9% of the germs and impurities, which means viruses and bacteria as well. So all you have to worry about is enjoying your flight.
We have also implemented a more rigorous cleaning procedure for all elements on board, such as folding tables, safety belts, armrests and headrests, toilets, etc., which are now cleaned more frequently and more thoroughly.
The use of face masks is compulsory throughout the flight. Remember, single-use masks must be changed every 4 hours.
We have resumed our on-board service on all our long-haul routes and on medium-haul flights of more than 4 hours, in all classes: Business, Premium Economy and Economy. Our new menus are made with fresh, seasonal products and we take all the necessary health and safety measures for you to enjoy them with full confidence.
Our buy-on-board service is not yet available but on short and medium-haul domestic and European routes you can pre-order and pay for food served on board up to one hour before departure through the Deliverfly service.
We recommend you use our digital press service on board to keep up with the latest news. Download our digital newspapers and magazines.
When you land at the destination airport, please wait until the crew announces the procedure for disembarking. Please also try to maintain a safe distance from other passengers as you leave the plane and keep your face mask on.
Lastly, we recommend that you keep your boarding pass until you leave the airport at your final destination because the authorities may ask to see it at any time to check the origin of your journey.
Depending on the airport, when you reach the terminal you will either have to hand in a form or show it on your phone. You may also have your temperature taken with a thermal camera or non-contact thermometer, and visual observations may be used to identify passengers with apparent signs of ill health. Remember, some destinations require a negative PCR test or similar so please be sure to check what documents you will need before your journey.
If you are entering Spain from abroad, you must present the “Health control form”, showing either the QR code you downloaded when you filled in the form online OR the printed form you filled in on the plane or at the departure airport. The procedure takes longer with the printed form so we recommend that you fill in the form in advance on the Spanish government website (www.spth.gob.es).
Remember, each region in Spain has its own restrictions in addition to the general ones for the whole country. Please be sure to check them.
Maintain social distancing while waiting for your baggage and approach the belt individually to collect it.
If someone is picking you up at the airport, remember that they will have to wait outside the terminal. Entry is only permitted if the person being collected has special needs or is an unaccompanied minor.
