Advantages: on-time, clean, friendly
Disadvantages: plane change
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 aeroterminal is small but well-maintained and very clean: the cafes and restaurants take all major currencies and there are interesting shops. I've never had to wait more than 70 minutes between flights and everything is very well planned.
I've flown British, American, Air France, Sabena, KLM, Lufthansa, and Continental on international flights, but I would fly Icelandair before any of these, given the chance. If only they flew into Brussels!

pixie1902 - 23.06.02 This is one of my favourite airlines too. Certainly my favourite 'European' (although don't let the Icelanders hear me call them European!) They are so under-rated by most people and it is surprising how many of my passengers think flying via Iceland is ludicrous when flying to the north-east US. I am always surprised that they think flying KLM or Air France via continental Europe is more of a direct way to get to Boston or New York City. |
