Needing to book a return flight from Barcelona to Dallas. I am AA Gold status. The AA flights are INSANELY overpriced. On Iberia, there are 2 flight options that are only a couple dollars different. My question is, as someone with AA Gold status, is it more advantageous to book the Iberia flight operated by Iberia or the Iberia flight operated by American Airlines? Or does it not matter. The flights take off 10 minutes apart and arrive within 1 hour of eachother (different layover - - Iberia is Madrid, and AA is Miami).
