Departing from Sofia, you can fly to Miami or Boston in Iberia‘s business class for only €1,180. There’s availability from August to October 2022.
Entry into the USA is permitted for fully vaccinated persons. In addition to proof of vaccination, you need a negative rapid corona test no older than 1 day before departure.
Iberia has some of the worst Covid-19 refund policies out there, as your way to a refund might require things like an actual Covid-19 infection.
To book the flights, you can simply use our form and then be forwarded to Iberia with one click. We have marked all available dates up to a maximum stay of 28 days in green.
First, you’ll fly onboard a Bulgaria Air A319 to Madrid, and from there, an Iberia Airbus A330 will fly you to your destination.
Iberia’s Business Class
The Iberia business class offers seats in a 1-2-1 configuration (no Herringbone). Each passenger, therefore, has direct access to the aisle and does not have to step over other passengers. All seats recline into a full-flat bed. The fare includes 2x 23 kg of luggage and of course, you’ll have access to various airport lounges.
The seats are apparently identical to those in the Airbus A340. We have already been able to test them on a European flight from London to Madrid:
Search & Book
The Fare Rules do not state how long the offer will remain valid. It is available for departures from August until October 2022. The inbound flight can also be later. You have to stay at least one Sunday, and you can theoretically stay a maximum of 12 months.
You can find available dates quickly and easily with the help of Google Flights (instructions). We recommend that you book directly on Iberia’s website.

Though the Bulgaria Air flights are marketed with an Iberia flight number, some programs may refuse to credit miles for those flights as they are not operated by an Oneworld member.

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
