- The route was inaugurated in June of this year, it will continue through the winter season, and will increase in frequency until it reaches one daily flight starting in June.
- The United States is a priority market for Iberia and this winter it will deploy 15% more capacity there.

With the aim of promoting tourist travel from the United States to Spain and improving connectivity between the two countries, this winter Iberia is making a strong commitment to this market, where it has deployed 15% more capacity than before the pandemic.
For Iberia, the United States is a priority market in which the airline will offer more flights and seats than in the same period of 2019. Specifically, it will offer 589,000 seats, which represents an increase of 15% compared to 2019, and about 2,000 flights, 21% more than the year before the pandemic.
Daily Flights to Dallas
The great novelty of this season in the United States is Dallas, a route that was initially launched to operate only in summer, but that Iberia has maintained throughout this winter season -which runs until the end of March- with flights increasing to one daily flight from June 2023.
At present, Iberia offers three weekly frequencies with Dallas (40,000 seats), operated with Airbus A330 aircraft, and equipped with Business, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins.
Dallas is the main hub for domestic flights for American Airlines -a partner of Iberia, British Airways, Finnair, and Aer Lingus in the agreement for the operation of the routes between Europe and the North Atlantic-, and it contributed to generating sufficient traffic with Spain to maintain this route also in winter.
More Flights Also to Miami and New York
In addition to the route to Dallas, this winter Iberia will be offering flights to five other destinations in the United States: New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boston.
And the airline is expanding in several of them compared to last winter: in Miami, itwill go from 10 to 14 weekly frequencies, and in New York from 10 to 14 weekly frequencies in March 2023. This means more than 170,000 seats on each route from November to March.
Iberia's programme in the US is complemented by three weekly flights to Boston, another three to Los Angeles and another five weekly flights to Chicago.
