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.
Just be careful, it is not business class, not flat seats, just as in comfort plus.
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!!
Was a bit surprised that Icelandair flies a domestically configured 757s on long-haul flights to Iceland (no lie-flat seats in business class).
If there was a disclaimer regarding food service or lack thereof, l missed it. If l had known l would have prepared better. Same with transferring at Reykjavik. No information about disembarking via stairs into rain, slush and puddles deep enough to swallow a foot. After being treated to haute cuisine restaurants and warm inviting environment during the flight, the airport is, let’s be kind, disappointing. Plane was comfortable, Airbus, staff were welcoming enough. I would likely try the route again. Maybe have a night and day in Iceland. Maybe not.
For an economy lite experience, it's by far the best I've had. New planes, clean, great destinations. Very happy to have discovered Iceland Air.
Smooth efficient airline. Think they should have their own bag drop as the queue took 30mins to bmscan and drop
Well! They got me as far as Iceland, let me wait around at the airport since my next flight had either left or canceled, finally gave me my luggage, and sent me to wait quite some time with seven other people for a ride to a hotel. At the hotel we got a chef's salad, a nice room for the night which unfortunately had feather pillows and duvet (allergies), a really great and spectacular buffet for breakfast (small but stunning), taxis back to the airport for the 9:30 Delta flight back to Minneapolis. The Delta flight has free food and liquor included which Icelandair does not. All in all, it falls far short of my worst ever United flight to SGN. Icelandair did change my reservation after my roommate tested positive for COVID and we canceled our plans to travel around Iceland, but the charges were fairly hefty. I had trouble contact Kayak's agents to discuss changing my reservations and finally contacted Icelandair who changed them. (I used their contact form and put in several requests for call backs.) Of course, they called just after I made the change with Icelandair.
did internet check in but still had to get checked in at the counter and this was not the first time. Bummer!
Paying $75 for my bag is disgusting. Got off ground late so I missed my connections. Kept us waiting for passengers in the cold. Will not use them again.
There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.
Would not advise EasyJet for a 5 hour flight…small plane and hence a lot of turbulence. No inflight entertainment so struggle to pass time in cramped seats. We also fell victim to extra charge for our cabin bags, although bag dimensions were ok, but the handle was rigid and slightly fell outside their testing cage!!….never again will we fly with this airline and be party to their scams for making money!
Seats, WC,sizes for today's generation adults, and if technical problems arise a complimentary coffee, water nice for waiting one hours, the rest is perfect (pilot and cabin crew)
We accidentally purchased twice the bags we needed. Our fault, but the ticket was not clear to us, and it asked us to purchase bags at checkin. When we notified them to get credit back at the airport, they said to contact customer service. We flew the flight and then contracted customer service. They said no credits after the flight has flown. Not customer service oriented at all. They know we didn’t check that many bags and kept our money for a service they did not provide. Be aware and very careful of what you are purchasing from them because they will not make it right if there is an error.
Kayak sent several notifications that the flight was late. This contradicted the information on the airport boards. This was extremely confusing and we very nearly missed the flight purely because we double checked with the info desk when the flight stays said’closed’. Kayak notifications are therefore unreliable and pointlesa
Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off
The on board air steward really made the journey. He was very entertaining
Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.
Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board
As you would expect from a budget airline Left and arrived on time, no frills, not even a glass of water offered But you get what you pay for
