I really enjoyed how clean and big the aircraft was, as well as how friendly the crew was.
OK experience except for the fact that I had to pay $100 for one checked in bag in Amsterdam, while it was supposed to be free like it was on the flight from LAX to AMS. I want SAS to reimburse me for this!
Very unfriendly approach to me when you rescheduled my return flight due to your delay. No help to address my health concerns because I am diabetics and had orthopedic problems. No clear explanation where to clear customs. I had poor customer service
They were all bad because SAS was at fault and cost me my time. I will never fly SAS again.
The meal offered was fish. I am allergic to fish. When I told her, she just took the box of food back without offering me an alternative.... I had to ask... can I then have a bag of chips? She did give it to me. I am a Euro Bonus gold member. Please just take the time to offer something else. Easy and from a customer service point of view, .... Considerate.
The flights from EWR to Stockholm and from Copenhagen to JFK were great. Love everything from SAS
Different airports have different regulations (weight/size) for carry-on.
Check-in for SAS at Zurich Airport was absolutely horrendous. Mixed with 4 or 5 low-cost airlines at the same desk with only 2 desks open for bag drop initially with incredibly long lines. They constantly had to get people to the front of the line for flight that were departing soon. We just made it to the gate in time for boarding thanks to the efficient security check. Not up to the standard of the SAS pricing!
Flight was canceled and the crew on the ground/front desk were I’ll equipped to handle. One woman was left to handle 150 passengers while her colleagues stood there saying: just 5 more minutes repeatedly.
My return flight has been changed to JFK from EWR without any notice or reason
The plane is extremely cramped. Water is offered for free. It's pretty bare bones. Staff was nice
We had a great experience with Icelandair. Boarding was efficient and easy. The flight crew was friendly and helpful. We’ll travel with Icelandair again anytime.
Paid for seat upgrade that didn’t happen. Large luggage charge. No food or snacks without paying extra. Tight seats - even on row 11.
Damage May baggage and I report the airport agant and they see it
The food service is confusing. It was not immediately apparent which beverages were complimentary, if any.
1. No food on a 8 hr flight is a travesty! The fare was not that low. 2. The entertainment was pretty bad and you had to buy headphones!!! 3. Only 2 toilets for the whole Economy section!!
First, Icelandic airs process to check in luggage is Stockholm is poor. Station does not open until 2 hours before flight, an international flight, so if you have checked luggage you have a huge line to navigate before getting in the long line to get through security to your flight. Second lack of business class accoutrements. Sage/business class has dropped a travel bag instead going to ala carte requests for things like eye shades, hand lotion or whatever that awaits you in your seat on just about every other airline. Good luck asking a Steward to get you one until after your in flight and past meal service. No pre board beverage either. In flight wifi was hit and miss as it logs off frequently in mid use, after you have to take about four attempts each time to log back in. On the positive the meal service was much better than anticipated with a warm meal of chicken and good salad. Flight was 25 minutes late to take off for reasons never explained, which made a 100 minute layover much shorter complicated by the local staff in the airport at terminal C unaware of where the pass port control was to get to terminal D. Was told by two separate staff members that there was no passport control needed even though there is. Icelandic is a discount air service but it seems to be heading toward the now departed "Spirit Air" level vs a Jet Blue level.
Crew was very friendly. Need lay flat beds! More snacks
Plus—newer aircraft, luggage arrived on time, adequate legroom. Minus-No snacks on three hour and five hour flights, long wait for a shuttle from the terminal to the airplane, indifferent flight crew
I just flew with Icelandair last week and the experience was horrible before the flight. The flight experience was good. The problem was the situation I faced with them prior to the flight. I bought the flight Geneva to Reykjavik in December 2023. I paid more expensive than the other routes because I wanted a direct flight. In April 2024, they cancelled the flight and rebooked me with ITA Airways and Icelandair. So, it became ITA Airways from Geneva to Rome and Icelandair from Rome to Reykjavik. Two days before, I called them because I could not check in with ITA Airways. They told me my flight was rescheduled only from Rome to Reykjavik. I said I lived in Geneva, and this change did not make sense. They told me they should have offered to me the closest airport and the refund. The person speaking with me had no idea what to do and said they would call later with a solution. Finally, they called and said Rome was the only way. I told them that was absurd and that they should pay for my Geneva to Rome flight. They even lied, saying there were not more seats with ITA Airways, which was a lie since I saw that I could buy tickets yet. They did not want to take the cost. Finally, I remembered she said they should reschedule with the closest airport, and I told her that was Zurich. They rescheduled me, but I had to pay for train tickets from Geneva to Zurich and Zurich to Geneva. Terrible experience. Terrible customer service. It was the worst airline I ever had the bad luck of buying a ticket.
