Icelandair

I travelled with Icelandair earlier this week on a short break. They are offering some good short break deals at the moment, we got return flights (from Heathrow), three nights at a hotel and an excursion to the Golden Circle (area close to Reykjavik which includes an amazing waterfall, Gulfoss, the original hot springs area - Geysir and Thingvellir which has both geological and historical importance) . We paid £239 for this deal which was good value. The flight with Icelandair was disappointing in some regards, the fight is 3 hours long and you only get free soft drinks. You have to pay extra for food. Our flight left at 1pm and I'd expected to get lunch ...  Read the complete review

My wife and I went to Norway a weeks ago and we decided to fly with Iceland air as we have travelled with them in the past. We purchased the tickets from the call centre as I prefer talking to someone it feels me with a bit of confidence and I prefer the human contact. The woman was very knowledgeable with lots of helpful information The woman on the phone was friendly and answered all the questions. Iceland air travel from Heathrow to Tromso in Oslo and as its not a very touristy airport and few airlines fly there. Iceland air is a fantastic airline airline the people are very friendly the service is better than most other airlines I have travelled with. The ...  Read the complete review

The whole subject of Iceland may be a bit controversial at the moment, but let me give a little information about the country's national airline. Icelandair has been flying in various forms since 1937. The name Icelandair has been in use since 1973. Their home airport is Keflavik airport in southwest Iceland, about 40 minutes from Reykjavik. A lot of people fly with Icelandair if they are flying to the US, as they offer one of the cheapest business class options to cross the Atlantic. That arrangement involves changing planes (or a stopover) in Iceland. Their business class product isn't quite up to the same standard as most trans-Atlantic ...  Read the complete review

What do you want from an airline? Well, my top requirements are: 1 - arriving safely (preferably with my luggage); 2 - not being ripped off; 3 - friendly staff; 4 - decent food; and 5 - something good to watch never goes a miss. Icelandair really pushes all the buttons. We have travelled with them a couple of times, flying from Heathrow to Keflavik, and they arrived safely and early both times. The service is exactly what you'd hope for - really good (what you'd imagine British Airways would be like - until you've flown with British Airways!). The staff are friendly and attentive. The flights ...  Read the complete review

I have taken Icelandair on several occasions, from Europe to the states and have never been disappointed. The service is always excellent on-board and the planes quite fresh and clean. And you may stop in Iceland for up to three days with no fee (very nice in summer). I've flown them from Amsterdam, Heathrow and, in my poor student days, Luxembourg (they've pulled out of LUX in favour of Paris). At all times I've been pleased by Icelandair's efficiency, the simple-but-edible food, and the comfort of seating. If you're crossing the atlantic, you will de-plane in Keflavik, which is about 45 minutes outside Rekjavik and fairly barren. The ...  Read the complete review
