We'll be flying Chicago to Madrid to JoBurg on Iberia Business Class and I'd like to know if there are any perks such as eyeshades or toothbrushes given out ... or have they gone the way of the dinosaurs? How about TVs in the seatbacks? Thanks.

You will be given all of that. I flew business last year on Iberia. Actually I was upgraded for some reason. Anyway, it was fabulous. Enjoy.

I got eyeshades in coach on Iberia last spring!

Have you checked:

Thanks a lot! Guess I can save a half ounce and not pack my eyeshades! And EK, that's a great website. Appreciate the tip!

Portlander: Glad to be of help. Just for the record: I am not sure if Iberia gives out the masks as a routine on coach. I know that I received one, but I usually ask for these at the beginning of each flight.. But on business I am sure you will receive one as a matter of course..

I happen to like Iberia and I absolutely ADORE the Madrid airport..

We flew that flight (ORD to MAD) last May and found IB business class to be very nice. The wine especially (Rioja) was excellent.

We rec'd a very nice amenity kit - it was in kind of an ugly tan travel bag, but inside it had a toothbrush, toothpaste, eye mask, L'occitane eye gel and hand lotion. Oh, and some soft cotton socks.

My favorite parts to your response: 1. Good Rioja 2. Comfy socks. Thanks!

It is all well and good, portlander, unless they start playing the Bowie song "Changes" in Espanol five times in a row!

Yes, this happened while we were sitting at ORD, waiting for a runway to take off. It was incredibly irritating!!
