i dont know about Iberia but with the airlines i fly with frequently (Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and a few others) their entertainment is the same throughtout the cabins, same movies, music and so on

airplane food is airplane food, there is no way around it unless you bring it yourself, it will never be as good quality as restaurant food (unless its a real bad restaurant or a fast food joint) and yeah some airlines food exceeds other airlines (i know that singapore airlines food in economy is better than british airways business and virgin atlantics upperclass......but than again singapore airlines has been ranked 1st or 2nd consistantly in basically all areas and i would consider them an outliner not on average with the rest aka far exceeds the norm, in my opinion) but never go on a flight expecting a great meal you will be disapointed, i expect to have a little better quality and choice when i am in business or first, but i know either way that it wont be as good as a home cooked meal

the cost of your flight seems about right comparing it with other flights in that class, also remember people and companies are still hesitant to fly business or first, they will go economy/coach to save money if they have to go at all......yes the economy is showing signs of revival (out of rec. 3rd qrt profits) but companies are still tight on cash and dont want to use it unless they have to.........so yeah the seats are expensive but you get what you pay for (when things work) and they have enough of those seats for the forseable demand

lastly, everyone pays a different price for their flights, so the person next to you in coach would have paid 1/3 the amount you paid (remember you were in a higher cabin so you would naturally have to pay more) but than the person behind you could have paid 2/3 the amount you paid or even less than the person next to you paid


either way, good luck getting through to Iberia and good luck getting compensation, i bet that if they go through your complaint the comment about the food will be its from outside caterers thats not our issue (yet it is since the airline uses/chooses that caterer unless they dont have a choice and has to use them) best of luck.....give them time, airlines are not exactly cheetahs when it comes to responding
