Find cheap flights on Icelandair

An exhausting experience

Pros: Crew seemed okay comparatively to other airlines/crews.

Cons: airport delays up to 2 hours, not knowing which gate and changing it all the time in Reykjavik, seating was hyper cramped, no food to compensate for the extra long trip, my carry on was taken from me even though it easily fit in overhead (it's a legal size duffel bag). I was exhausted after spending well over 14 hours in airports and 2 planes from Paris to DC.

Long lines, lots of waiting around

Pros: Crew seemed okay comparatively to other airlines/crews.

Cons: airport delays up to 2 hours, not knowing which gate and changing it all the time in Reykjavik, seating was hyper cramped, no food to compensate for the extra long trip, my carry on was taken from me even though it easily fit in overhead (it's a legal size duffel bag).

Stuck in a middle seat when I selected a window seat

Cons: I paid extra (another surprise) to select my seat ahead of time. Being a larger guy, I selected a window seat. I didn't realize until we were boarding the plane that they stuck me in a middle seat, and being the first flight was delayed I did not have time to remedy the problem before the connecting flight. The entertainment screen also froze up, but at least one of the crew members was quick to let me know to just restart it.

Surprise Fees

Pros: Decent leg room

Cons: I got hit with a surprise $100+ baggage fee at check-in. Boarding started late, then they just had us go in a cramped, hot room before actually boarding. Flight took off about 45 minutes late.

Delayed flight

Cons: Our plane was broken. Initially they said an hour late and then the time before our flight increased. Because our flight was delayed, I missed I missed an important meeting.

Cons: Overcrowded, no leg room and staff unwilling to help move two travelers near each other. Did not appreciate the rough demeanor and having to flag down attendants for water when they skipped over our aisle. Would avoid this airline in the future if possible.
