TRAVEL REVIEW
Review: Iberia Business Class Airbus A321XLR (MAD-IAD)
For the return portion of my trip across the Atlantic on the Airbus A321XLR, I flew Iberia’s Airbus A321XLR business class on the eight-hour flight from Madrid (MAD) to Washington (IAD).

I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
