Important: the change and refund options apply to flights scheduled for 11 November 2026, including cancelled flights.
How do I manage my booking?
If you bought your ticket on iberia.com, through the App or via our Call Centre, log in to check whether the change or refund is already available online for your booking; this is the quickest way to manage it.
f you booked your trip through a travel agency, contact them directly so that they can process any changes.
Before going to the airport
Check the Flight status before going to the airport. If you are traveling from a Spanish airport on 11 November, arrive earlier than usual, as the strike could affect transport and mean that check-in, security and passport checks take longer than usual.
Where possible, travel with hand luggage only and complete the online check-in via our app or on iberia.com to speed up your journey through the airport and avoid unnecessary waits.
If you need information or need to carry out any procedures that day, prioritize our online channels, as the telephone customer service center may have longer-than-usual waiting times.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this situation beyond Iberia's control may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding.
