If you're looking for a ticket and find an interesting price, you can book it for 72 hours without having to buy it on the spot. Just select the flight, fill in your details and press the Hold booking option.
You'll only need to pay a deposit, which we'll deduct from the final amount of the ticket. The deposit will depend on the route:

Once you have paid this amount, the price of your ticket will be locked for 72 hours. You can finalise your purchase during that time by logging in to Manage your booking with your booking code.
If you don't finalise your purchase within that time, your pre-booking will be cancelled automatically and you'll lose the deposit you paid. In any case, we'll send you a reminder email 12 hours before your pre-booking expires.

You can use this service in participating countries on Iberia Group flights (operated by Iberia, Iberia Express or Air Nostrum), on code-share flights with British Airways and for bookings that include flights with both airlines. Remember, you must make your booking at least five days before the departure time of your flight.

In certain countries, the purchase terms and conditions do not permit the automatic issue of tickets. In these cases, follow the instructions indicated during the purchasing process. Check our Pre-booking page for your country.
