Class: Economy class on MD87.
Meal type: Refreshment - A bag of peanuts (tasting dreadful).
Drink: Orange/pineapple juice out of a selection of soft drinks and coffee.
Comments: You really fly on a bag of a peanuts these days even on a full service airline! If I had ordered a coffee, I'd have got some biscuits packaged similarly to the peanuts. At least, Iberia, if you're just giving away peanuts, please make sure they're eatable!

Meal type: Dinner - Chicken in saffron sauce with rice and spinach, salad, cream cheese, cream cake with almonds/nuts, bread and butter
Drink: water & coffee (tea was also available)
Comments: "Nice (warm!!) chicken, rice and excellent spinach (I think it had bits of pine seeds in it, very nice). Good salad (the dressing was nice), nice cream cheese, and this time a nice bread roll as well. My favorite part of the meal was the cake though, very very tasty! The only weak point was again the coffee, but everything else confirms my good impression of IB. Well done Iberia, even on such a relatively short flight. I don’t recall getting such good meals on other European carriers..."

Meal type: Dinner - Breaded chicken nuggets with paella-like rice, salad (with oil & vinegar dressing), “Bel Paese” cream cheese, apple pie, bread roll & butter
Drink: water & coffee (tea was also available)
Comments: "The chicken nuggets looked like the ones I buy at my local supermarket, and the rice was quite good, but what struck me most is that both were actually served warm!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on a 2-hour flight within Europe. Very nice and fresh salad, lovely cream cheese, average apple pie, and very polyurethane-like bread roll. The coffee wasn’t very good either, but aside from that and the bread, I’m quite impressed with Iberia, especially after hearing many negative comments about their service."
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 7/8 (would have been more if the bread and the coffee had been better).

Aircraft type & Class: A321, Business
Meal type: Lunch: "Fresh Garden Salad with Hearts of Palm, Virgin Olive Oil and Sherry Vinegar", "Medallion of Lamb Leg in Provencal Sauce, Sauteed Three-coloured Peppers, Boulangere Potatoes", "Manchego and Serrat Cheeses", "Apple Crepe with Vanilla Cream"
Drink: Spanish white wine, which was very good
Comments:" The service was pleasant, but the meal was ordinary to bad, the lamb tasted like braised rat (or what I would imagine braised rat to taste like), sauce was vile, the lettuce in the salad was brown at the edges, though the hearts of palm were a nice addition. The cheese was fine. They should stick to something a bit simpler and tastier (like a nice plate of Spanish smoked hams and Spanish cheeses with a little salad, in case Iberia wants my suggestion!)"
