Icelandair Baggage Allowance 2026

Economy Standard and Economy Flex include 1 checked bag of 23 kg (50 lb) on international flights. Economy Light includes no checked bag, so you buy one if you need it. Saga Premium raises the limit to 1 bag of 32 kg (70 lb), and Saga Premium Flex gives you 2 bags at 32 kg each. All five fares come with a cabin bag and a small personal item.

Icelandair has no business class; Saga Premium is the top cabin on its transatlantic flights through Keflavik.

Your carry-on can measure up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm (21.6 x 15.7 x 7.8 in) and weigh up to 10 kg (22 lb). That limit applies on every fare, including Economy Light. Icelandair's conditions of carriage add that cabin bags must fit under the seat in front or in an overhead bin.

A US-standard 22 x 14 x 9 in roller is 0.4 in longer than Icelandair's 21.6 in limit.

Icelandair publishes no personal item dimensions on the pages we could load. The only rule shown is that the item must fit under the seat in front of you. Every fare, Economy Light included, lists a small personal item next to the cabin bag.

Yes, a 10 kg (22 lb) weight cap applies to the cabin bag. Saga Premium Flex passengers can bring two cabin bags, each up to 10 kg. Pack heavy items in a checked bag if your roller is close to the limit.

Yes. Economy Light includes 1 cabin bag up to 10 kg (22 lb) and a small personal item, the same as Economy Standard and Economy Flex. What Light leaves out is the checked bag: the fare table lists checked baggage as for purchase. That makes Light usable for a carry-on-only trip to Iceland or onward to Europe.

Economy bags can weigh up to 23 kg (50 lb), and Saga Premium bags up to 32 kg (70 lb). The usual size cap is 158 cm (62 in) once you add length, width and height. Bags over that pay an odd-sized charge, and the size page did not load for us, so treat the 158 cm figure as an estimate.

Extra bags on Icelandair cost about USD 60 to 110 each way, depending on the route, and prepaying online is cheaper than paying at the airport. A bag weighing 23 to 32 kg adds about USD 50 to 100. Sports gear such as golf bags and skis usually counts as one piece of your allowance, while items over 158 cm pay an odd-sized charge. These amounts are estimates, so check the price in Manage Booking.

Yes, 4 route groups carry their own allowance: international, Greenland, Faroe Islands and domestic flights within Iceland. The 23 kg and 32 kg figures above come from the international fare table. Check the route group of each leg before you pack for a connection to Nuuk, Vagar or Akureyri.

Three groups get a separate allowance: Saga Gold and Saga Silver members of Icelandair's Saga Club, children and infants, and passengers with mobility equipment. The exact extra weight did not render on the pages we fetched. Saga Premium Flex is the only fare with 2 free checked bags.

Saga Club tiers, not a credit card, are how frequent Icelandair flyers get extra bags.

No published option exists for pets in the cabin, and since November 1, 2024 Icelandair has not carried animals in the hold on international flights, citing fleet changes. Pets can still travel in the hold on domestic routes within Iceland. Trained service dogs fly in the cabin free of charge.

Travelers moving to or from Iceland with a pet need a cargo option, since the passenger hold service ended on international routes.
