Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

Icelandair liquids policy

Current Icelandair guidance describes ordinary liquids in containers up to 100 ml in one clear resealable 1-litre bag, with medical and infant-feeding exceptions. Departure and transfer airport rules can differ; purchases count within baggage allowance.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Infants under 2 have no carry-on allowance. One checked bag is included except Economy Light; stroller and car seat are included. Ticket price depends on the booking.

Stroller

Children aged 2–11 may check a folding stroller free. Rules vary by airport; some strollers cannot pass security. Strollers surrendered at the gate are not returned at the aircraft on arrival; confirm collection location.

Car seat

Infant equipment includes a car seat. Cabin use requires an approved child seat and a suitable window seat; purchasing the child fare guarantees a seat for an infant. Confirm fit and acceptance.

Children's allowance

Children aged 2–11 have the same baggage allowance as adults on the booked fare, plus a folding stroller.

    Baggage section

    Source review: · Codex (AI source review)

Current overview replaces the old allowance URL and states 55×40×20 cm for carry-on with a 6 kg regional exception. An older domestic-information page still gives 55×35×20 cm/6 kg; confirm the booked regional service if conflicting information appears. The checker models international 10 kg and does not select Saga Premium Flex or regional routes. Gate collection can occur for operational reasons; keep essentials in the personal item. Excess fees depend on route and allowance, not a Light cabin-bag purchase. No measured enforcement probability is asserted.
