Average size person but felt like a sardine. Coffee was undrinkable. Threw it out.
It’s a no frills airline. You have to be careful about booking carryon baggage in advance because they will charge you an exorbitant amount at the airport. Bring your own food onboard. I don’t think the drinks are cheaper in the terminal. Seats are okay. No entertainment, no WiFi and no charging of devices onboard.
Transavia charged us extra for a bag we had already paid for. The lady at the boarding counter literal answer was "that is not our problem". They make their measurement requirements non standard to suck money out of you in these ways.
4h delay, lost luggage, no info whatsoever about anything that was going on. Lost connection bus to final destination. 2 babies beside me screaming the whole time with their mother being absolutely unapologetic. Worst experience ever
My experience is very bad. The flight was canceled 2 hours before departure. I lost my hotel reservation and can't get it back.
There’s no point in paying for priority if we all just end up in the same queue at the same place
The flight was delayed one hour. Soon after, I got an email saying that the flight was moved for the next day at midnight, changing my entire plans at the destination. I went to the gate to see what was going on and they were actually boarding and in their last call! It was very confusing and stressful because I nearly miss the flight for the miscommunication.
Schiphol airport needs to get their stuff together. I had to wait one hour at the passport control for EU national ID members, not the international one that they were waiting for 4 hours, and the baggage claim had an other hour on top of delays. That is insane, trying to exit the airport, at this point just let me get my own bag from the luggage compartment.
No water or light snacks, unless you pay a lot of money for it. Zero leg space
Yeah, allow us to bring our carry-on luggage without charging more. I've never seen another airline do this, and decreases your chances of my using you again.
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
Plus—newer aircraft, luggage arrived on time, adequate legroom. Minus-No snacks on three hour and five hour flights, long wait for a shuttle from the terminal to the airplane, indifferent flight crew
Repurchased food and it was moldy and expensive. But I figured it was bad luck so I purchased a cup-o-noodles, halfway through them we hit turbulence and the flight attendant was passing with the garbage, it would have been two seconds to grab it, but he was snarky grabbed someone else’s plastic cups and went to buckle up… I used the puke bags to secure the soup before it became an accessory. When he finally came around he gave me a face like a petulant child as I handed him the soup neatly wrapped in the paper then plastic bag. I watched a movie in silence as the rental or headphones was ridiculous at 4€ for those .10€ cheap plastic toys. No English subtitles on an American movie… crazy. I disliked the whinny little tourist trap and now I hope that it sinks into the ocean or erupts in a catastrophic eruption for their beloved “I live on an active volcano” pride.
The flights were in time and the bags arrived. well done
