We’re ready to welcome you, and help you get the very best from your visit.
Our in-flight entertainment includes a video series called Unique Iceland, in which the people behind Icelandair share some of their favorite things to see and do (and taste, and buy) in Iceland, and shine a spotlight on what makes our home so special.
As Iceland’s leading airline, we love to entertain and inform you about the wonders of Iceland, and how to make the most of your visit. For our video series we work with high-profile partners to showcase some of Iceland’s best shopping and design, activities and experiences, health and wellness, and flavors.
If you can’t wait until your next flight, check out our videos below. You can also watch them on Icelandair’s YouTube channel, along with other videos we’ve made.
