Baggage Policy

If you're planning a trip with Icelandair Airways, knowing the airline's baggage allowance policy is essential to avoid surprises or unexpected baggage fees. Understanding the weight and size restrictions and the fees and charges for exceeding them can help you pack smartly and efficiently.

Carry-on/Cabin Baggage Policy

1. Icelandair allows passengers to bring one piece of cabin baggage on board, with maximum dimensions of 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm (22 in x 16 in x 8 in) and a maximum weight of 10 kg (22 lbs).
2. In addition to cabin baggage, passengers may bring one personal item, such as a purse, laptop bag, or small backpack. This item must fit under the seat in front of the passenger.
3. It is important to note that cabin baggage must fit in the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of the passenger and must not block the aisle or emergency exits. If the luggage is too large or heavy, it may need to be checked at the gate.

NOTE: Because bulkhead seats lack under-seat storage, all carry-on and cabin luggage must be stored in the overhead compartment during takeoff and landing.

Checked Baggage

1. Icelandair allows passengers to check baggage for a fee, with the cost depending on the route and the weight of the luggage. Passengers can purchase baggage allowances when booking their ticket or any time before the flight through the Icelandair website.
2. Passengers can check up to two pieces of baggage, with a maximum weight of 23 kg (50 lbs) each. The maximum dimensions for each part of the luggage are 158 cm (62 in) in total (length + width + height).
3. It is important to note that excess baggage fees will apply if the weight or dimensions of the checked baggage exceed the allowed limits. Passengers should also ensure their luggage is securely packed and labeled with their name and contact information.

Carry-on Baggage

The following are the restrictions for carry-on luggage:

1. The maximum weight of the carry-on bag must not exceed 10kg or 22 lbs.
2. The maximum dimensions of the carry-on bag must be 55cm x 40cm x 20cm or 21.6in x 15.7in x 7.8in.
3. Passengers can carry one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a handbag, laptop bag, or briefcase.
