Flying IB From LHR To MAD - Is Food Free?

Hello!

Last January when I was flying back from GRU to LHR, my flight was overbooked (RG) and I was offered a flight via MAD, in C class.
First leg was very good. A RG MD-11, ex-LX, very clean, service was great, seats were nice and tidy.
Second leg, MAD-LHR, was terrible. As my flight was delayed, I missed the first flight connection (BA) and they moved me to an IB flight.
What a terrible flight!
Packed, A/C was very smelly inside and worse(!!) I had to pay for the food.
Was that correct? Since when IB is charging for food?
I spent EURO 9,50 for a small ham and cheese sandwich and a beer.
Now, I am flying IB again (LHR-MAD) end of May and I would like to know if I will be paying for the food again or not.
Shall I bring my on snacks?
Shall I choose BA next time as they both are from OneWorld?

Cheers

You will be paying for food and soft drinks and coffee on all Iberia European flights.

Stock up on your snacks before you board, the food offered for sale is not that great.

No, you won't if you are flying to Athens or Moscow (still part of Europe, I think).

If your flight from LHR to MAD is IB 74xx, that means it is operated by BA, so free food.

Emphatically yes. Fly BA instead!

Even water costs $$$ on IB intra-Europe. Flew BCN-LHR and was surprised that they even charged for water.

Did LHR-IBZ and back via BCN 2 weeks ago, they charged for food. Nice crew, ratty A320 and the lack of free food made for a very inconsistent product.


buhh bye

If you flew C class as you said, food is free they only charge in Y so I think " Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark"

Smely on the inside? No coment.


These are my principles but if you don't like them I have others
