By your own food and have your own music. Upgrade your seat if you have the funds!
WendyFlew with Iberia-Jul 2024
This is a good service to a smaller gateway airport. It's usually full. This service is why we selected BA. If you've prepaid for your seats be prepared for them to switch the plane configuration and reassign your seats. You'll have to apply for this refund too since it's not automatic. These refunds should be automatic not a chore for you to get your money back, especially when you have selected seats you personally want.

1 - bring a portable battery backup because you can't rely on the outlets at your seat to be working. 2 - download movies/shows to your device, because you can't rely on your headphones or screen to be working. 3 - download any work, as possible, to your laptop, because you can't rely on WiFi to be working.
