They sat me in a better row and seat. Was not squished like the flight from Tucson to Seattle. Because I was in a wheelchair, everyone was very solicitous. Great flight. The only thing that disappointed me was there was no WiFi.

They sat me in a better row and seat. Was not squished like the flight from Tucson to Seattle. Because I was in a wheelchair, everyone was very solicitous. Great flight. The only thing that disappointed me was there was no WiFi.

Gated at different concourse than was supposed to be, with tight connexion

The bags arrived much later than expected. The boarding was done slowly. The taxi time was too long at SEA. It is a bad airport for international connections.

All airlines have just made flying harder and less pleasant. I think they care more about packages than people. Alaska is a bit better than others.

Snack was one little packet of twisted pretzels and there was no entertainment on the long flight

I like the crew Professionalism all the way from checking in, in the cabin. Very nice

It is like a no frills airline with good service. No seatback screens and no meal on a five and one half hour flight.

As I said, the gate agent cancelled my ticket to Seattle unbeknownst to me and I did not get on the connecting flight to Rome

My trip was delayed by more than two hours and missed my connecting flight to Fiji due to delayed they have to change my flight to United Airlines and stranded in San Francisco for 24 hours waiting for United next flight after almost 3 days I finally arrived in Brisbane airport but my luggage wasn’t here and now I still don’t have my luggage and still without my clothes and my needs. The first full day of my vacation is horrible because I don’t have any clothes and still trying to contact airline for luggage update and hopefully they will tell me the truth instead of misleading me and I end up waiting around without enjoying my vacation time here in Brisbane.

I was offered a selection of drinks and given a free snack. The flight was only a couple of hours, but we were trreated better than the transatlantic flight.

Horrible. My dad was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with lymphoma and Icelandair refused to refund flight even though I had a letter from his physician.

The WiFi wasn’t working, so no one could watch any entertainment for 5 hours. The plane also was delayed and did not leave, nor did the staff prioritize those with connecting flights to de-board first. Everyone with a connecting flight to Munich missed their flight by 5 minutes. Then the next flight to Munich was 14 hours later. The airport could not compensate us because the closest hotel was about 2 hours away. This did not seem like the truth. I was not pleased with this traveling experience.

I DO NOT recommend Iceland air...missed connecting flight.....paid for isle seat upgrade for health reasons...had to do that over....baggage left in the rain so clothes got soaked other items ruined....called customer * dont care* service

I had no idea that my ticket only paid for my right to get on the plane. They charged me $130 for my carry-on bag because it was 1 inch too big she claimed but it wasn’t! Then they wanted another fee for everything. I had no idea that Icelandair had changed to such a bargain basement airline. I was very disappointed.

The staff was kind and helpful. There was no food, and you needed to bring your own earphones to use the entertainment, which I didn’t know.

Seat was hard and uncomfortable and the temperature too warm and uncomfortable.

Everything was good. Only issue comes from being vegan and flying. The food options are super limited.

Overall good for an economy fare. IMO the movie selection could be improved. Great that you can now connect bluetooth headphones to the entertainment system.

7 hours 15 min flight from SEA to Iceland with no inflight entertainment and no power to charge your own devices, also no meal service, not even any snacks/cookies. You have to buy food and the options are extremely limited (i.e. ham and cheese sandwich and spicy cup noodles). I didn't think Iceland air was a budget airline, maybe I was wrong, the cost of the ticket didn't feel like it though.

Very nice flight, easy connections in Keflavík, and friendly crew.
