Baggage

An extra bag is any bag beyond the baggage allowance included in your ticket, a heavy bag is any bag whether it is included in your baggage allowance or extra baggage that exceeds the weight limit. Information regarding instruments, sports equipment and other odd-sized luggage can be found below.

To guarantee the best deal, we recommend purchasing your excess baggage through Icelandair at the time of booking your flight. If you need to add baggage after you've booked you can do so in Manage booking at a discounted rate which won't be available at the airport. The earlier you book your additional baggage, the more you save.
