You may not be able to check in online with Iberia for several reasons. One common reason is departing from certain airports that do not support online check-in, such as locations in Morocco, Egypt, the Maldives, and Albania. Additionally, flights to or from countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Cuba, Mexico, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and China allow online check-in only within 24 hours of departure. If your itinerary includes a codeshare flight operated by another airline such as British Airways, American Airlines, LATAM, or Vueling, you must check in through that airline’s website.

Passengers requiring special assistance, traveling with pets, unaccompanied minors, or group bookings on the Air Shuttle service cannot use online check-in and must do so at the airport. If your reservation includes an IB5XXX flight operated by Vueling, Iberia’s system will not allow online check-in. In some cases, Iberia may require in-person verification of the credit or debit card used to purchase the ticket, meaning you can reserve a seat online but must collect your boarding pass at the airport.

Technical issues and booking errors, especially with reservations made through third-party sites, may also block online check-in. These can include mismatched flight details or unverified documentation. If a visa or travel document needs manual verification, Iberia may disable online check-in until it is completed at the airport.

In summary, online check-in with Iberia may be restricted due to departure airport limitations, destination requirements, codeshare flights, special service needs, payment verification, or system issues. In these cases, passengers must check in at the airport counter.
