Icelandair Carry-on Baggage

For onboard comfort, Icelandair allows guests in any class of service the option of bringing a bag or two along with them in the cabin. All passengers must adhere to the Icelandair carry-on rules that limit both size and weight of their items as outlined below. In all cases, your carry-on bag's total dimensions (length+width+height) cannot exceed 115cm/45in.

In addition to the above, all guests in any class of service are allowed a small personal item, such as a duty free purchase, a purse or briefcase, camera or laptop bag and an umbrella or overcoat.

Children (2-11yrs) with a reserved seat have the same carry-on baggage allowance as adult travellers. Infants on lap (under 2yrs) do not have an allowance of their own.

Please note that the above policy applies to Icelandair operated flights only. If you are travelling on a codeshare flight operated by another carrier, please refer to the baggage policy of the operating airline.

Icelandair Checked Baggage

Did you know that your Icelandair checked baggage allowance is determined by the type of cabin you are travelling in as well as the ticket type purchased? Please review the restrictions outlined below for the allowance that applies to you.

In all cases, each checked bag's total dimensions (length+width+height) cannot exceed 158cm/62in.

Children (2-11yrs) with a reserved seat have the same carry-on baggage allowance as adult travellers, based on the ticket type and class of service. In addition, a stroller (folding) is allowed free of charge. Infants on lap (under 2yrs) are allowed 1 checked bag weighing no more than 23kg/50lbs, as well as a stroller (folding) and a car seat or carrying basket.

Please note that the above policy applies to Icelandair operated flights only. If you are travelling on a codeshare flight operated by another carrier, please refer to the baggage policy of the operating airline as it may differ from that of Icelandair.
