We would also like to notify you of an Amadeus solution for the extending of e-ticket validity due to COVID-19.

Amadeus has introduced a new solution for airlines allowing e-tickets validity to be automatically extended for up to 2 additional years from date of last flight when that flight was cancelled by FI and with UN in flight status or voluntarily cancelled using XE/XI entry. Rebooking must be completed within 1 year from last original flight segment and all travel must be completed within 1 year of reissue date.
The 2 year additional validity exception is only applicable for bookings with at least one Icelandair flight segment, with travel between 19th April 2020 – 30th June 2021 inclusive.
Auto pricing will continue to work as normal for all published fares when rebooking, please note Light fares and IT nett fares will need to be repriced manually.
Any additional fare or tax increase must be collected when e-ticket is reissued.
This 2-year extension will also apply for associated EMD’s for ancillaries connected to these bookings.
For any further assistance please contact your local Amadeus/GDS office for more information.
