Hi all,
These are pictures from my trip with Icelandair from Toronto to Copenhagen via Reykjavik back in May 2013. I wanted to try Icelandair as I was curious to experience it and also they advertised in a lot of places in Toronto and even in the metro stations so I thought I'd give them a try. I chose a long layover in Iceland so that I can visit Reykjavik as well.

Boarding

The cabin in Icelandair is very fresh, organized, clean and has a nice vibe, I really liked it and the seat colours were great too

The seats were very comfortable, with good leg room and a foot rest

It's very cool that Icelandair includes interesting facts about Iceland on their headrest and provide authentic and cool Icelandic items, such as the cool looking bottle of water or the pillow and other items that teach people about their country :)

The only downside was that you had to buy food on the aircraft, which I did not do as we already had dinner in the airport terminal
So beautiful

Exploring the Reykjavik Airport Terminal
It was a nice airport but overcrowded when the north american flights depart all at almost the same time

Conclusion

Overall a great flight with Icelandair, very comfortable. The Reykjavik airport is nice but timing all north american flights one after another within the period of 2 hours made the terminal very busy and crowded and there were not enough seats available for people.

  • That's awesome--I was literally hoping the other day that someone would post a FI report. They were on my mind with the reveal of the new special Aurora livery. I used to work for Icelandair so they have a special place in my heart and Iceland is like my home away from home so thanks for posting the great Iceland bonus pics. Also nice pics of Kobenhavn!

  • Great pictures all the way through. FI is unlike most airlines that you can cross the Atlantic with, owing to the location of its hub. I'll have to visit Iceland some day. Thanks for sharing !

  • I wish I get to experience FI sometime soon, looks like one of the most interesting ways to cross the pond. Their product doesn't look too extraordinary, specially with the BoB. But that stop on Iceland is too tempting, plus one gets to fly on a 757!

    Reykjavik looks like a pretty place, as all the country, thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for sharing this FR

    Great bonus pictures as usual

    I don't like 757s and FI's product (with the BoB) is not appealing but I'd like to visit Iceland

    • Thanks Lagent secret, I'm glad you liked the pictures :)

      Yes, I totally get your point and Iceland is for sure nice to visit. It has a very Scandinavian vibe and architecture.
