Booking tips for Icelandair
Compare fare classes carefully
Icelandair offers multiple fare tiers. The cheapest class may restrict changes and exclude checked baggage — compare the all-in price before purchasing.
Book long-haul 3–6 months out
Long-haul Economy sale fares sell fast. Set a price alert and move quickly when deals appear — the best fares are typically 3–6 months before departure.
Use miles for upgrades
Icelandair's frequent flyer programme offers excellent value for upgrades. Earn miles on Economy fares and redeem them for a premium cabin on long-haul routes.
Route via KEF
Connecting via Icelandair's hub at KEF can open up cheaper itineraries — especially when direct fares from your home airport are expensive or unavailable.
