Let me let you in on a points-and-miles secret: Iberia business class is one of the best deals in the sky.
You can book a one-way ticket from Boston (BOS), Chicago-O’Hare (ORD) or New York-JFK to Madrid (MAD) for just 34,000 points and minimal taxes. Cities like Miami (MIA) and Los Angeles (LAX) cost just 42,500 Avios, which is a great deal as well.
Why you should NEVER book Avios flights on Iberia via ba.com

If you are looking to redeem Avios for flights to Central or South America, you may end up booking BA’s sister airline Iberia. With British Airways announcing the closure of the Lima route last week, its own coverage has become even thinner.
Iberia has an intriguing list of long-haul routes which cover places ignored by British Airways. This has included – although we can’t be sure what routes will return post-coronavirus – Guatemala, Cuba, Panama, San Salvador, Montevideo, Bogota, Cali, Medellin and Quito amongst others.
