If you do want to change the dates or destination or departure airport of the ticket, call the Reservations Centre at 0870 609 0500 or visit one of the Iberia offices.

Children aged 2-11 pay 50 per cent of the full adult fare on domestic routes. On international flights – London to Buenos Aires for example – the discount is about 80 per cent.
