This may, for instance, involve the use of restraints. In such case, the passenger may be denied permission to board a connecting flight and may be prosecuted for violations committed on board the aircraft.

To avoid possible inconvenience, we recommend that such items are packed with checked-in luggage.

Luggage instructions
Luggage must not contain items

Notification of limitations to liability

International flights:
Passengers travelling to destinations other than their country of origin are hereby informed that the journey may be subject to the provisions of the Warsaw Convention, including those that relate to limitations of liability for death, physical injury or damages to luggage. As a rule, it is possible to obtain extra insurance by purchasing insurance from an insurance company. Limitations to the airline’s liability do not have an impact on such insurance.

Domestic flights:

1. Rules on physical injury
   In the event that a passenger dies or suffers physical injury or damage to health caused by an accident and the carrier can provide evidence that the person suffering the loss or damage caused or was involved in the cause of the loss or damage, compensation may be reduced or cancelled. Under the same conditions, the carrier is freed from liability if he can provide evidence that he and his employees have taken all the necessary precautions to prevent the loss or damage or that such loss or damage was outside their control.

The aircraft operator, however, may only rely on the latter defence if the principal of the covered loss or damage amount exceeds the equivalent of SDR 100,000 in ISK and may only do so as regards the part that exceeds the previously stated amount limit.

The aircraft operator shall, without delay and not later than 15 days after the identity of the injured or deceased party became clear, make a prepayment to meet acute financial needs. The payment shall take circumstances into account. This payment shall not be less than the equivalent of SDR 15,000 in ISK for each passenger in the event of a fatal accident. Such prepayment, however, is not equivalent to admission of liability and will be used for deduction in the final settlement of claims for the accident. The prepayment is also reversible if the aircraft operator can prove that the passenger caused or was involved in the cause of the accident or that the person receiving the payment was not legally entitled to such payment.

2. Rules on limitations to liability as regards luggage
   Liability due to the loss, delay or damage to luggage is limited as stated herein unless a higher value is stated in advance and additional fees are paid: The liability of the carrier in the event that luggage is lost, destroyed, damaged or delayed shall be limited to SDR 1,150 for each passenger, unless the passenger, on checking in the luggage, specifically provides information on the interests dependent on the delivery of the luggage at the destination and pays the requested extra fee. In such case, the specified value applies as the maximum liability of the carrier, unless he can show that the actual interests of the passenger were lower. Stating the extra value of individual items is permitted.

3.Luggage
Circumstances may arise where luggage has to be left behind due to weight or space limitations imposed on the aircraft. This may apply to luggage for which the passenger has already paid.

4. Overbooking
   Flights may be overbooked, and the situation may arise where there is no free seat in a flight for which a booking has been confirmed. Those who are left behind in such circumstances are entitled to compensation.
5. Pregnant mothers
   Expectant mothers who are in the final month of their third trimester may only travel with the carrier if they submit a medical certificate, issued within 72 hours before departure, which confirms that they are not at risk with respect to air travel.
