Hi,
We just want to let you know that we at Icelandair don’t use AI-generated images to represent Iceland. Why? Because we don’t need to. Iceland may look unreal – but it’s not. Promise.
The line between what’s real and what’s unreal has become blurred*. Yes, it’s easy to see that images of unicorn cats riding jet-skis over a rainbow are fake. But when you’re looking at images of spectacular landscapes, breathtaking skies, and the bluest of waters, you might find yourself asking – is this real?
In Iceland’s case, the answer is yes.
Iceland is a place that exists beyond your wildest AI prompts, where you can have a real unreal experience. It’s a place where you can feel the glow of the midnight sun, hear the rumble of the glaciers, and witness the northern lights illuminate the sky.
When you see a photo of Iceland from us, you can trust that it’s a real, authentic place you can visit, explore, and experience for yourself. Because we connect you to what truly exists.
So, if you need a break from all the noise and the inauthentic nonsense, we’re here for you.
Real and warmest wishes,
The people of Icelandair
*We conducted some research to better understand the impacts of AI on travelers.
Note: This letter was written by humans. The banner photo is of the Kerlingarfjöll geothermal area in the highlands of Iceland. It's real.
Is Iceland real, or just AI magic? We sent our marketing director, Gísli, to the streets of Reykjavík to ask if locals can tell the difference between real and fake imagery. One thing they all agree on: Iceland is so beautiful, it doesn‘t need AI help.
Gísli from Icelandair is back, and this time he’s testing the people of London. Can they tell the difference between real Iceland and AI trickery? Watch and learn if the Brits are up to the task.
