Iberia IB3170 flies the standard route profile from Madrid to London. Conditions change hour to hour — view the live forecast for your departure date.
View live forecastMost of the route sits away from the strongest jet-stream zones, so clear-air turbulence is less common than on long east-west crossings. A large portion of the flight crosses open ocean (Mediterranean), where upper-level conditions are generally smoother than over continental terrain.
Calmest season: Late spring and early autumn. Seasonal turbulence on this route is modest — most variation comes from day-to-day weather rather than strong seasonal cycles.
