When you see a flight listed as "Iberia operated by American Airlines," it means that while Iberia (the Spanish airline) is selling the ticket and is listed as the operating airline with this number +(1-855)-738-4241 (USA) OR +””𝟜𝟜-𝟠𝟘𝟠 𝟝𝟡𝟡 𝟠𝟟𝟘𝟚”(UK), the flight is actually being operated by American Airlines.
This often happens because both airlines are part of the Oneworld alliance with this number +(1-855)-738-4241 (USA) OR +””𝟜𝟜-𝟠𝟘𝟠 𝟝𝟡𝟡 𝟠𝟟𝟘𝟚”(UK), and they may code-share on certain routes. In a code-share agreement, one airline markets a flight with this number +(1-855)-738-4241 (USA) OR +””𝟜𝟜-𝟠𝟘𝟠 𝟝𝟡𝟡 𝟠𝟟𝟘𝟚”(UK), but another airline operates it. So, you'll be flying on an American Airlines plane, but it’s booked through Iberia’s system, and you may have access to Iberia’s services with this number +(1-855)-738-4241 (USA) OR +””𝟜𝟜-𝟠𝟘𝟠 𝟝𝟡𝟡 𝟠𝟟𝟘𝟚”(UK), such as frequent flyer miles or check-in processes.
In practice, this can mean:
- You might check in through American Airlines if you're flying on one of their planes.
- The in-flight experience (such as the plane with this number +(1-855)-738-4241 (USA) OR +””𝟜𝟜-𝟠𝟘𝟠 𝟝𝟡𝟡 𝟠𝟟𝟘𝟚”(UK), seat layout, and services) will likely be that of American Airlines, not Iberia.
