Flight compensation Icelandair:
Billund — Keflavik

Legal right: Icelandair flight between Billund and Keflavik

The route BLL - KEF by Icelandair was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Given the route between Billund and Keflavik (1 967 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Icelandair. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.

How to know if the flight Icelandair Billund - Keflavik is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Icelandair offers you a travel credit for your Billund → Keflavik flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Billund, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Icelandair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Keflavik.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Billund airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Icelandair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Icelandair compensation

A strike action by Icelandair's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not owed due to an external strike at Billund, care (food/accommodation) remains owed Icelandair. Never forget this.

What are your rights at Billund airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Billund Airport becomes your temporary home because of Icelandair, know that your basic needs must be met by the airline. For a medium-haul flight, the right to care kicks in after 3 hours.

In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Billund Airport are fully at the airline's expense.
