Anyone fly with "Level" airlines?

In researching flights for a Spain trip in March I see non stop flights from Barcelona to Boston for great prices. Never heard of them so I googled it and they appear to be somehow related to Iberia, and new since 2017. Some decent reviews but just wondering if anyone here has experience with them.



(I'm posting this on the air travel board as well so don't yell at me if you see it twice)

Google the name. there are numerous reviews of the carrier already. Whether or not you believe what has been written is up to you.

Iberia just has a contract to do their flights for them to the US for at least a year, and they are probably one of those partner deals. Maybe later they'll get their own planes or use some other airline, but from BCN that makes sense.

I'd consider them if I wanted to go to Boston if the rate really was a lot cheaper with all add-ons, AND I checked out the seat dimensions etc and those were acceptable. Because those low cost airlines (this is similar to Norwegian) generally advertise real low prices to start, but often you can't get them later one and they seat space may be smaller (plus price add-ons of course for some things, just make sure you check final prices).

If you'd consider Iberia and the quipment etc is the same, sure, why not. Just check schedules, also, I think one of the problems with those type of airlines also is a limited schedule so if something goes wrong, you are stuck for a couple days or a long time for the next flight.

Owned by IAG, the parent of Iberia and British Airways, and using repainted Iberia A330s.

I thought British and American were the parents of Iberia but regardless, GOOGLE that company and then decide if it is worth it.

No, no corporate connection between AA and IAG, although all three airlines are members of the Oneworld alliance.
