Who operates Iberia flight IB 8555?
In our data, Iberia is the airline selling IB8555. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was IB 8555 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If IB8555 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (usually none).
