Icelandair Carry-On: Size, Fares and Regional Weight Limits

Icelandair includes one 55×40×20 cm carry-on, including wheels and handles, and one 40×30×15 cm personal item on every ticket, including Economy Light. Saga Premium Flex includes two main bags; Saga Premium includes one.

Weight depends on the route

The limit is 10 kg per main bag on international flights, but 6 kg on domestic Iceland flights and flights to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Check every leg. The personal item goes under the seat; the current overview does not publish an independent personal-item or combined-weight limit. This is not a promise of unlimited weight.

The current baggage overview gives 55×40×20 cm. An older official domestic-information page still says 55×35×20 cm and 6 kg. Confirm the regional booking if these instructions conflict; do not assume the wider bag will be accepted on every aircraft.

Using the checker

The tool models the international 10 kg allowance and assesses one bag. Basic/Light includes a main bag; no cabin add-on is required just because the fare is Light. The Business selection represents Saga Premium, not automatic entitlement to two bags. Check Saga Premium Flex and regional 6 kg limits against the ticket separately.

Oversize or overweight bags may need to travel in the hold and incur route-dependent excess charges. Even a compliant bag can be collected for operational reasons. Keep essential medicines, documents and valuables accessible; confirm the handling of a stopover with the airline.

Children and contents

Infants under two have no own carry-on allowance. They receive a checked bag except on Economy Light, plus stroller and car seat. Children aged 2–11 have the adult allowance for the booked fare and a folding stroller. Approved child seats require a suitable seat; buying the child fare guarantees a seat for an infant. Airport stroller procedures vary, and Icelandair says gate-surrendered strollers are not returned at the aircraft on arrival.

Check departure and transfer security instructions for liquids, medicines and baby food. Icelandair currently limits power banks to two of at most 100 Wh each, carried in the cabin with terminals protected, outside overhead bins; do not charge them onboard.
