Flight flexibility guidelines for Colombian nationals travelling to the UK
Due to the visa application for Colombian citizens to enter the United Kingdom, we are implementing the following travel guide because besides the additional cost, the waiting times for the application and authorisation are taking at least 1 month.
In view of this situation beyond Iberia's control, if you are flying from 25 December 2024 from Colombia on flights operated by Iberia and you have purchased your ticket directly on our websites or on our Call Center until 26 November, you have the possibility to book on any flight on the same route or up to 300 km away, within one year. If you have purchased your ticket to travel with us in a travel agency, you must contact them to modify your reservation.
If you have booked a flight that may be affected, enter your contact details here Booking management so we can notify you any important changes to your trip through Iberia conecta.
