Icelandair sometimes has no choice but to cancel their flights. While this may disrupt your travel plans, EU Regulation 261/2004 once again protects your air passenger rights. Even in this situation, the airline is responsible: passengers on flights canceled due to extraordinary circumstances are not entitled to compensation. These situations include strikes, air traffic control restrictions, adverse weather conditions, security threats and others.

But when the airline takes responsibility and fails to notify you of the cancellation at least 14 days before the departure date, under Icelandair Cancellation Policy you can get up to €600 for your trouble - the exact amount depends on the duration of your journey.

Claimcompass can help you get the money owed by the airline. Fill in your flight details in our compensation calculator and we will take care of everything for you.

Even if it turns out that you are not entitled to compensation, remember that when Icelandair cancels a flight, they will refund your ticket price or rebook you on the next flight to your destination (if seats are available).
