The meals offered on our flights do not contain peanuts or peanut products, such as peanut butter. However, trace elements from peanuts may be found in meals.
Tree nuts (e.g., almonds) may also be found in meals on board, and fish and shellfish are sometimes on offer in Saga Premium. Unfortunately, it‘s not possible to remove tree nuts, fish, or shellfish from the cabin.
In the case of severe peanut allergy, our cabin crew can make an allergy announcement on board asking other passengers on the flight not to consume foods that contain peanuts. If you require special assistance on board because of your peanut allergy, please check the box in the additional assistance section when booking your flight or in Manage booking.
We do, however, wish to stress that Icelandair can in no way restrict other passengers from bringing or consuming their own food on the aircraft, and this may contain peanuts or other allergens. For that reason, it’s possible to find traces of peanuts on seat cushions, armrests, tray tables, or elsewhere in the cabin.
Furthermore, Icelandair cannot confirm allergy policies for other aircraft as it relates to connecting flights. Please contact the airlines directly carrying out the other parts of your journey to confirm their allergy policy.
It is always advised to bring medicine in your carry-on baggage, as long as it is within the carry-on size restrictions.
We also recommend having a doctor´s note available for your medicine while travelling.
Please keep in mind that there are no refrigerators available on board, but some ice may be provided if necessary.
