American expands its operations at Miami with the launch of Miami - Barcelona service on April 3, operating the flight five times a week until June 14 when it becomes a daily flight.

As part of a joint business reorganization of flights, Iberia will increase its Miami to Madrid service as it grows its presence at Madrid on March 25, adding a second MIA-MAD flight four times per week. American will continue to operate one daily MIA-MAD flight.

American’s new route connects its Miami hub to Barcelona, and complements American’s existing service from JFK in New York. Barcelona will be the 111th destination served by American and American Eagle from MIA.

The flight features Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 225 seats including 30 Business Class seats and 195 seats in the Main Cabin. American’s Business Class is designed to give customers more comfort, flexibility and privacy. Fully-motorized lie-flat seats in a 2-2-2 configuration offer a personal inflight entertainment device with audio and video on demand, state-of-the-art cabin lighting and sleek, ergonomically-designed overhead bins, all enhancing the travel experience for the business customer.

Frequent flyers can also benefit from American’s reciprocal agreement with Iberia on this new service by earning and redeeming miles in addition to upgrade opportunities and access to joint promotions.
