I've been Upgraded to Silver!

Hello! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

All the (long) flights during the last 7 months are starting to show some results: Since yesterday, I'm officially an Iberia Plus Silver member - yay! What does this mean?

• Business class check-in. This is a big step towards to the frequent flyer limbo - from now on, I don't have to hurry and worry anymore (at least not as much as I did before). No more wasting time waiting to check-in, no more sitting on the floor hoping that the packed queue moves on - au revoir economy check-in!
• Greater luggage allowance. If I was already excited about the check-in, what about having the possibility to carry an additional 23 kg bag with me without paying any extras? Do you know what this means - more bottles of Rum from Cuba next time. Yeah.
• Airport waiting lists. I've been lucky enough to never be on a waiting list, although I've been pretty close a few times - the last one being this year in London, when I took the last seat available and everyone behind me started cursing the company for over-selling their capacity. They were right - but I was better of with my mouth shut and my ticket in my pocket, heh.
• Assistance insurance outside Spain. I'm still not sure what this means, but it does sound useful.

Can't wait to start using it!
