| The Most Bizarre Airline Promo of 2018 |
Last month, Iberia announced a new promotion offering 9,000 bonus Avios (Iberia miles) for booking any flight on Iberia or its regional subsidiaries. The Avios would post within 10 days of booking the flight, and up to 90,000 Avios were available per person. This was a great deal because Avios are relatively valuable and Iberia flights within Spain can be very cheap. So it's little surprise that many people joined Iberia's frequent flyer program and booked 10 one-way flights for around $30-40 each.
At the time, this seemed like a bizarre airline promotion that was almost too good to be true. But few could have predicted the thrilling roller-coaster ride that would be experienced by those who took part! |
