Icelandair is generally ranked as a mid-tier full-service airline, usually holding a 3-star rating from Skytrax, meaning it’s considered “average” with decent safety and reliability but basic onboard comfort and service compared to top global airlines like Qatar Airways or Singapore Airlines. It is often viewed positively for transatlantic routes and value pricing, but not for luxury or premium cabin experience.

Yes, you can get an Icelandair refund if your fare type allows it, such as Economy Flex or Saga Premium, or if you cancel within the 24-hour risk-free window after booking (for eligible tickets); lower fares like Economy Light are usually non-refundable but may still be eligible for partial refunds in cases like flight cancellation or major schedule changes by the airline.

Icelandair is generally considered a reliable mid-tier airline—it’s praised for safety, decent service, and good connections between North America and Europe via Iceland, but it’s not viewed as a luxury carrier because Economy is fairly basic and Saga Premium, while comfortable, is still not comparable to true business-class lie-flat products.

No, Icelandair is not a 5-star airline; it is typically rated around 3 stars by Skytrax, meaning it’s considered a solid but mid-tier airline with good safety and connectivity, but fairly basic Economy service and a more limited premium experience compared to true 5-star carriers.

Icelandair seats are generally comfortable enough for short and medium-haul flights, with standard Economy offering average legroom and recline, while Saga Premium provides wider seats, more space, and better recline, but overall comfort is still considered mid-range rather than luxury or long-haul lie-flat level.

Icelandair doesn’t have a traditional “business class”; its Saga Premium is usually ranked as a mid-tier premium economy–style product, offering wider seats, lounge access, and better service, but it generally ranks below true business class products on airlines like Qatar Airways or Singapore Airlines because it lacks lie-flat seats and a fully premium cabin experience.

Icelandair has moderate on-time performance—delays do happen, especially in winter due to Iceland’s weather and across-Atlantic congestion, but on most days flights operate on schedule, with longer delays more common in stormy conditions or tight connection itineraries via Reykjavík rather than being a constant issue.

If you miss one leg of an Icelandair itinerary (especially a connecting flight), the airline will usually treat the remaining segments as invalid and cancel them automatically, and you may need to buy a new ticket unless the missed connection was due to a delay on their side, in which case they typically rebook you on the next available flight.

Icelandair flights are generally on time most of the year, but delays are not uncommon during winter and peak connection times, with typical causes being Icelandic weather, Atlantic air traffic congestion, and tight layovers in Reykjavík, so while most flights depart as scheduled, a noticeable minority may experience short delays rather than consistent major disruptions.

Icelandair is generally ranked as a mid-tier international airline, often around 3-star level on Skytrax, valued for its safety, reliability, and strong transatlantic connections via Iceland, but ranked below top global premium carriers because its Economy is fairly basic and its Saga Premium is not a full business-class product with lie-flat seats.

Free upgrades on Icelandair are rare, but you can improve your chances by checking in early, dressing neatly, being a flexible solo traveler, or being a frequent flyer/loyal customer, though most upgrades are given only for operational reasons (like oversold cabins) or through paid upgrade offers at check-in or the gate rather than as complimentary perks.

You can get a seat upgrade on Icelandair by purchasing it during booking, managing your booking online later, or accepting paid upgrade offers at online check-in or the airport, and in some cases you may also get discounted upgrade bids or last-minute offers to Saga Premium if seats are available.

Icelandair is generally considered good but not premium—it’s reliable, safe, and convenient for connecting North America and Europe via Iceland, but the Economy experience is fairly basic and Saga Premium is comfortable without being a true business-class product, so it’s a solid choice for value and routing rather than luxury or high-end comfort.

Alcoholic drinks are not free in Icelandair Economy and must be purchased onboard, while in Saga Premium they are generally complimentary along with meals and other beverages, depending on the route.

Yes, on most Icelandair fares you can bring both a carry-on suitcase and a small personal item like a backpack, as long as they fit the size and weight limits, but on some cheaper fares the total weight is combined, so you still need to stay within the overall allowance.

Yes, Icelandair serves free non-alcoholic drinks like water, tea, and coffee in Economy, while alcoholic drinks and most snacks must be purchased; in Saga Premium, drinks including alcohol are typically complimentary depending on the route.

No, a neck pillow does not count as a personal item on Icelandair, so you can bring it in addition to your carry-on and personal item without it affecting your baggage allowance.

You should arrive about 3 hours before an international Icelandair flight to allow enough time for check-in, baggage drop, and security, since boarding usually closes around 45–60 minutes before departure.

Excess baggage on Icelandair typically costs about $60–$130 per extra 23 kg bag one-way, depending on your route (cheaper within Europe and more expensive between Europe and North America), and heavier bags (23–32 kg) usually incur an additional $40–$120 surcharge on top of the extra bag fee, so it’s significantly cheaper to pre-purchase extra baggage online than to pay at the airport.

Icelandair is fairly strict with checked baggage weight, especially at the airport where bags are often weighed at drop-off, and if you exceed the limit (usually 23 kg in Economy or 32 kg in Saga Premium per bag) you’ll typically be charged excess fees rather than being allowed to pass without adjustment.

Yes, Icelandair does have a carry-on weight limit that depends on your fare, but in general it’s about 10 kg total combined for a carry-on bag and personal item in Economy Light, while other Economy fares also require you to stay within size limits and may be weighed at the gate if flights are full.

Yes, Icelandair allows small pets in the cabin (usually cats and small dogs) if they meet size and carrier requirements, but space is limited so you must book in advance and the pet must stay in an approved carrier under the seat for the entire flight.
