This first course gave the crew time to prepare the rest of the meal, which is incredible considering the tiny galley they are operating from. Another drawback is that with a single aisle and only one toilet at the front, when service is happening, it\u2019s virtually impossible to use the toilet. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09.59.07.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44820\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/2025\/05\/16\/trip-report-iberia-a321xlr-business-class-march-2025\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09-59-07\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09.59.07.png\" data-orig-size=\"2260,1255\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-05-15 at 09.59.07\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09.59.07.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09.59.07.png?w=900\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-15-at-09.59.07.png?w=900\" alt=\"Close-up of a passenger holding a plated meal featuring grilled meat, lettuce, broccoli, and sauce in an airplane cabin with purple lighting.\" class=\"wp-image-44820\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Though the entire meal was served on a single tray \u2013 a concession to the aircraft\u2019s compact galley \u2013 it was thoughtfully presented, and i still love the cultural reference from the salt and pepper shakers.

Despite the aircraft\u2019s limitations (read: galley), the service was among the best I\u2019ve experienced on Iberia. With just 14 passengers to attend to, the crew had time to engage with everyone individually \u2013 offering drinks, snacks, and smiles throughout. They clearly enjoyed working this aircraft, and their energy lifted the entire flight experience, and maybe that\u2019s the winning formula that makes this aircraft fun and straight forward to fly.<\/p>\n<p>Between films, Wi-Fi sessions, and a brief nap, the six-hour journey flew by. The intimacy of the cabin felt almost private jet-like \u2013 relaxed, refined, and peaceful.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Flying Narrowbody!

Absolutely. It may not match a widebody for onboard space or meal service finesse, but what it loses in scale, it gains in intimacy and crew attention. This aircraft brings a new flexibility to Iberia\u2019s long-haul network and offers a forward-looking, design-conscious experience. With stellar service, a smart seat, and a solid hard product, it proves that small can still be mighty.<\/p>\n<p><em>As I do every year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=PPBCVE3SFA5N2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>I ask on your kind support to keep things going<\/strong><\/a>.
