If you are pregnant, have recently given birth or are in the process of adopting a child, you won't lose your Iberia Plus level even though you take fewer flights during the year.
To extend the validity of your card for an additional period, all you need to do is prove that you are on maternity or paternity leave by emailing a copy of your medical report or maternity/paternity leave certificate baby@iberia.es. Once we have verified your document, we will destroy it for your safety and send you an email confirming the renewal of your card level.
The application period is from the date of the medical report confirming your pregnancy until twelve (12) months after the birth of your child, the court ruling in cases of adoption or guardianship, or the date of the administrative or court decision in cases of fostering.
In the case of the other parent, to request the renewal of the Iberia Plus card level, at least 8 weeks of the maternity/paternity leave must have been taken during the validity of the card. The card validity will not be extended until the entire leave has been taken.
This benefit is not valid to renew the card for two consecutive periods, even if the leave period spans two different Iberia Plus years.
This benefit does not apply to cards obtained through criteria other than the programme's standard criteria based on the flights or Elite Points collected.
