I am flying Icelandair from Pittsburgh to Munich via KEF on August 26th and returning on a separate ticket on September 11th.

My passport expires February 20th, 2027 and I originally thought I was fine to travel based on numerous guidance that says for Schengen Area I only need at least 3 months on my passport after my departure date from Europe. However lately I have seen posts of certain airlines arbitrarily enforcing a 6-month validity at the gate.

I wanted to see if anyone in a similar situation has had success or a problem going into Schengen Area with icelandair while passport was expiring 3-6 months from EU departure? My passport options are pretty limited at this point and am hoping for peace of mind.

I wanted to see if anyone in a similar situation can confirm based on experience whether I should worry as long as I meet Schengen Area guidelines. My passport options are pretty limited at this point and am hoping for peace of mind.
