Trip to Isle of Man

I have been flying from Barcelona to the Isle of Man with Iberia. Iberia is Spain's flag airline carrier and as such it has cheaper tickets than its competition and it also has better service. Iberia has multiple methods of ticket reservation such as: ticket reservation using online servie, ticket reservation via smartphone app, ticket reservation by phone, ticket reservation by email, etc. I reserved my ticket via their smartphone app, and checked my ticket at the airport counter. The plane was an Airbus A330, a true modern and high tech plane, it was clean and fresh. The air crew was very pleasant and helpful. I forgot to mention that I got my ticket for 80% of the regular price. The flight was calm and enjoyable, after landing in the Isle of Man I have taken my bags and bought a return ticket, but this time I payed the full ticket price.
