Iberia claim:build a clear compensation file
Delayed or cancelled by Iberia, or denied boarding? Identify each right, gather evidence and make a clear request for compensation, refund or expenses.
Each case depends on the itinerary, final delay, cause and applicable rules. Compensation is never automatic.

Separate fixed compensation, ticket price, rerouting and care expenses. Each requires different facts and evidence.
