We had a great experience with Icelandair. Boarding was efficient and easy. The flight crew was friendly and helpful. We’ll travel with Icelandair again anytime.
Paid for seat upgrade that didn’t happen. Large luggage charge. No food or snacks without paying extra. Tight seats - even on row 11.
Damage May baggage and I report the airport agant and they see it
The food service is confusing. It was not immediately apparent which beverages were complimentary, if any.
1. No food on a 8 hr flight is a travesty! The fare was not that low. 2. The entertainment was pretty bad and you had to buy headphones!!! 3. Only 2 toilets for the whole Economy section!!
First, Icelandic airs process to check in luggage is Stockholm is poor. Station does not open until 2 hours before flight, an international flight, so if you have checked luggage you have a huge line to navigate before getting in the long line to get through security to your flight. Second lack of business class accoutrements. Sage/business class has dropped a travel bag instead going to ala carte requests for things like eye shades, hand lotion or whatever that awaits you in your seat on just about every other airline. Good luck asking a Steward to get you one until after your in flight and past meal service. No pre board beverage either. In flight wifi was hit and miss as it logs off frequently in mid use, after you have to take about four attempts each time to log back in. On the positive the meal service was much better than anticipated with a warm meal of chicken and good salad. Flight was 25 minutes late to take off for reasons never explained, which made a 100 minute layover much shorter complicated by the local staff in the airport at terminal C unaware of where the pass port control was to get to terminal D. Was told by two separate staff members that there was no passport control needed even though there is. Icelandic is a discount air service but it seems to be heading toward the now departed "Spirit Air" level vs a Jet Blue level.
Crew was very friendly. Need lay flat beds! More snacks
Best smelling onboard bathrooms ever. Even after use the whole flight. Biggest overhead bins. Most legroom in economy class. Great Icelandiic music. Really nice staff. Icelandair is awesome! (Don’t fly Air Canada! During the strike they lied about no flights available (I booked this flight myself) and hid the process to get money back on their website by obscuring menu titles, then made it difficult and time consuming to fill out. I’m Canadian. Don’t trust Air Canada!
Boarded with no problems. Sat on the tarmac for an hour before taking off. We were the last ones on our connecting flight. Didn't think we were going to make it. Our flight to Iceland was similarly delayed. When we've flown other airlines, pilots have tried to make up time while in the air. This doesn't seem to be something that Icelandair does. We made all of our flights, but it was stressful and we didn't think it was going to happen based on the time we arrived.
Did not like last minute change to our itinerary that made us spend the night in the airport
