I was at a conference in Madrid. When flying out, my status at Finnair earned me a spot at the Iberia's Sala VIP Dali, their lounge. Nice experience overall. This was at breakfast time, and there was a decent breakfast foods available. I also liked the airport design.
The aircraft we flew on was wet leased from Iberia to fly for Finnair. Lunch was good. The only complaint I had was the the WiFi did not work on flight to Madrid, at all, either for free based on business class seat or for a fee. On the way back it didn't work for free, even if supposed to, but it did work if I paid for it. I don't know if this is a Finnair-Iberia thing, or the fact that my business class seat was an upgrade, not a properly bought one, or just some usual IT problems... guessing the latter is most likely.
Temperatures between Spain and Finland seemed awfully similar...
