“Stranded in Quito during the civil unrest”
Review of Iberia


Reviewed 8 November 2019

Our family were marooned in Quito on 7th October. There were marauding gangs of masked men with long wooden staves on the streets. There were fire bombs and bangs all through the night. On Tuesday the plate glass of our hotel was smashed by angry youths. We saw a man nearly beaten senseless. We were very frightened and feared for our safety. We were stranded on the 11th floor on the Hilton Colon and were desperate to leave. Our flight was on Saturday. Iberia would only bring the three of us home on Wednesday 9th if we paid them an extra £685. They would easily sell our Saturday seats as people were desperate to leave. We have had no apology or recompense. I am disgusted with this money grasping airline!

You pay premium and end up in a fly that is delay where they put your luggage in the hole, to the realise there is still space on the plane and that they are letting other people behind you pass their suitcase. Worst than any lowcost!

We were offered business class seats for 50 euros per person more, so we decided to try it. Ha also came with access to VIP lounge.

While we were very pleased with the VIP lounge, we were not so pleased with our seats on the aircraft. We understand this was a short flight and smaller aircraft, so it wouldn’t be as roomy as other flights. In our email offer, it mentioned the middle seat is “always” empty in business class.....well, apparently there were no middle seats.

All in all, we would probably do it again, but feel Iberia should have been more accurate in their upgrade description.

My wife and I flew Premium Economy and it was well worth the slight increase in cost. Terrific service. Wonderful people. Would do it again!!!

The check in process was smooth and the attendant allowed us another free bag to check. This is always appreciated. Cramped seating is again an issue.
