Flew from O’Hare to Berlin with stopover in Reykjavik. Didn’t realize Icelandair was a budget airline until afterwards. Service and punctuality were amazing. Would definitely fly again.
The 767 is truly one of the most comfortable twin aisle aircraft to fly on, with its 2-3-2 seating. Fairly quite too. Not too big, not too small. Perfect landing.
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in South America, and just the city district where I live is more populous than Iceland. An Icelander would be numbed by the city's population (12 million within the official city limits, and 21 million metro!). Just the East Side of São Paulo has 4 million people, which is almost the population of Norway. It also means that the city of São Paulo has more speakers of Portuguese than the entire country of Portugal, where the language originated.
the cabin looks so good because its brand new, icelandair mostly run rather old plaines. but unlike many others they actually buy the planes, redo the cabin and keep them top notch
Icelandair seems like a really classy and good airline. I haven't travelled on them yet, but I do have an inflight magazine from when my sister flew through to Copenhagen. I collect inflight magazines and the Icelandair IM is one of my favourites out of the ones I have. I love Icelandair's livery and fleet! Hekla Aurora is one of my favourite liveries. My one criticism is how the food is not free. Given Iceland's geographical position, the flight can be quite long and the fact they don't serve anything for a 5 or 6 hour flight is kind of ridiculous.
For a 2-hour flight, you really wouldn't have time to watch a full-length movie. The legroom was superior, but a snack along with the complimentary drink would be appreciated.
After the economic crisis of 2008 and the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in 2010, the Icelandic government started heavily subsidising the tourist industry as a way to rebuild their economy. That's why you see a lot of tourist promotions on Icelandair and WOW Air. While this has been successful in rebuilding the Icelandic economy, the volume of tourists is putting a strain on the travel infrastructure to accommodate everyone.
So I've used IcelandAir to fly from Munich to the Minneapolis 3 times now and have had 2 great experiences. I love the fact that you can take 2 checked bags for free, the good legroom and short stopover times with great connections. BUT last Summer I was in my own (a sixteen year old) flying over to Minneapolis again and they fucked up bad. For some reason the airspace over Iceland closed because of some Problem with the control Tower over there and WE had to circle over Scottland for a while. Once we ran out of fuel, WE had to fly to Bergen to figure out the problem and fuel up, but since every IcelandAir plane was effected there were more than one big Plane at this little auch, so it took a while for us to get back in the air. We couldn't leave the plane and had to sit there for hours with no free food. Since every plane was effected many other connecting flights also delayed, including mine. When we finaly got to Keflavik my flight was gone though for no apperent reason. they gave me Vouchers for a taxy and a Hotel in Rekjavik wich was nice, but since the flight to Minneapolis was full they put me in a flight to Boston wich then was also delayed by an hour, so I missed my flight from Boston to Minneapolis. There was noone at the IcelandAir counter for 5hours and I didn't reach anyone on their "Support" phonenumber. After taking to Delta employees and drinving Back and forth in that ugly Airport between two Terminals dir hours, there finaly were some IcelandAir people at their check in counter and they rebooked me. All worked out then and I finaly arrived in Minneapolis after a 36h Trip. The Boston Part kinda sucked, but it was nice to see downtown Rekjavik for Free.
What a horrible trip, I can feel you...had once the same problem with Air Mauritius and in the end I had more than 2 Days delay. Why did they rebooked you from the Minneapolis flight to the Boston one? it would made more sense to fly the on the next day than heading to a wrong direction.
Simply Aviation There would have been one to Minneapolis, but it was completely full. At least I didn't have to worry about my suitcase, since there still was room for luggage on the Minneapolis flight. I would have arrived in Minneapolis relativly fast, if the flight to Boston wasn't delayed but I also dont know why they put me on that one. An other passenger traveling from Munich to Minneapolis got rebooked over JFK, because I got the last Seat on the Boston flight. It realy makes you wonder what was going on inside those Icelandic heads 🤔
The reason that WOW air check in was closed was that all flights to Europe indeed already departed at your time of arrival at Keflavik. At Keflavik the schedule is as follow. First WOW and Icelandair landing from USA and Canada. Then WOW flights to Europe depart. Then Icelandair same story and in the afternoon those flights return. WOW then departs to USA and Canada and Icelandair does the same. On most destinations the crew can do a return on the same plane. This means that both airlines save a lot on staff expenses as they don't have to pay hotels for the crew to rest. That's why they are very efficient and cheaper.... It's also the reason that Keflavik is very quiet most of the day. Only when flights arrive and depart it's very crowded as the do all on the same time of the day. On my flight at WOW from 300 passengers only 30-40 had Iceland as final destination. All the others were transferring. That meant that the arrivals hall and luggage carrousel where very quiet when I arrived....
Nice video! ;) I always thought Iceland air gives you some free snacks... anyways the cabin looks really nice! Did you count how many times you showed the same view of the cabin? haha ;) what some people might have thought about that xD
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos Never ever I flew from Birmingham to Keflek then to Toronto Pearson airport and on a 5 hour flight they don't serve a hot meal or snacks as they just don't only free drinks in economy
I flew from Keflavik to Manchestr on 18/11/18 only because there wasnt a flight to Newcastle I would recommend Icelandair above all others. They couldnt do enough for me
State of the art flight review.I think that airports with so much cold, like Keflavik,should have passengers boarding through jet bridges and tell me guys was the way to the gate 15 minutes?Sounds so long.The plane looks so fresh.That wingview with this huge winglet was outstanding.Congrats.
Thank you Yannis, it was really cold and they definitely should use jet bridges! The cabin is only a view months old so every thing is fresh and clean.
I don't know , among all flight reports , yours are the best for a reason. I alway enjoy them as I am an aviation addict . Please keep up with these , your work is just amazing
Your reviews are humorous, straightforward, show what we want to see, and I thought I'd skip some parts of this 22-minute video but I watched it in full - you managed to grab my attention. Awesome! Just subbed.
At the start of your video, I felt cold just watching those people get on the bus. That was one big economy cabin on the 767, still nice if there is two of you and you are able to have a set of the two seats. That 767 was a young 17 years old, not too bad, shame about the window. Very nice to have the IFE on the short hop. Great video as always.
Thank you! It was really cold in Iceland, I was happy to be back in "warm" England. The Eco Cabin seems huge due to the missing dividers. I really appreciate a IFE on every flight even if it takes only 30 min ;)
I was looking forward to trying Icelandair, but I don't think I will be flying with them again for the following reasons: 1) No lounge access outside of Reykjavik, and connection times were too tight to access the lounge in Reykjavik. 2) No check-in counter available at Charles de Gaulle when I arrived early for my flight, and no instructions for where to drop off checked baggage after self check-in. 3) No priority boarding, and Keflavik airport is too small to accommodate the number of passengers connecting. 4) Inconsistent meal service, on the first segment, they were out of lamb, and on the second segment, I got the last beef. 5) I think the lower prices attracted people who typically wouldn't be seated in a premium cabin, as I had a disruptive, entitled family of three seated in my row. I wouldn't recommend flying Icelandair again.
20:09 that A319 has been replaced on the YYT-LHR and YHZ-LHR has been replaced with a 737 MAX 8. But because of the groundings. The routes have both been suspended.
Great uploads on your trip reports from a former avgeek globetrekker. Icelandair always had a nice product differentation when they flew out of Baltimore via 757s. Still looks great. Dont remember much of the terminal concessions transferring to luxemburg, but the present terminal looks modern, updated, well maintained and easy to navigate with adequate signage. That was a quick weekend trip from Louisville to Baltimore to Iceland onto Luxemburg and return over 20 years ago. Again great job on your trip reports.
@@mirofin I mean yeah but I really just said that because it's... more or less the only worthwhile thing I can respond with. Point is, you missed the joke.
Thanks for the nice clip! I like Icelandair and have flown Portland, OR to Reykjavik a couple of times on the 757, which doesn't look quite as nice as the 767. This May, however, Icelandair's economy fares are substantially more than British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Delta to London. We've opted for premium economy on Virgin, which is US $400 less than Icelandair's version of premium economy and offers much more!
Nice video David ! I've been watching your videos since last year, and now I'm thinking to videos like yours here in Brazil. Thanks for the vídeos. Bye !
when i first went into the terminal ground floor, my first thought, oh, the airport was really small. went up to the second floor to go through security. wow, the departure area was really really big and nice. btw, i will fly icelandair again, can't beat its low price even though they don't serve meals.
I LOVE ICELANDAIR! I had a really good experience with them, when I travelled from Amsterdam to Boston in 2014! I would love to fly with them again! P.S. I love your channel! Awesome video! Keep on going! =D
I really recommend! :D I flew with their B757-200/300, awesome plane! Awesome crew! I had my seat before the engine, amazing wing view -and engine roar! Unfortunately I never flew the Hekla Aurora.... I highly recommend them on a long-haul flight! (Icelandair only has two B767's , so you had lots of luck! ;D But they ordered two more of them... The rest of the fleet contains 25 B757-200's and one B757-300... (Just a fun fact ;) )
Dude, don’t let the chocolate in contact with the tray table, it’s one of the dirtiest places in a plane!😣 BTW I like your videos! Greetings from Brazil!👍🏻
I think that icelandair its a little bit incompentent they can go to latam or asia with new type of aircrafts (a330 or 787), new seating like fully-flat bed for business and better service like complete meals
Thinking big picture, I wonder if Icelandair is just a loss-leader to encourage Icelandic tourism? It's usually the cheapest way to fly to Europe from North America (especially the west coast), and it just so happens to require tourists to change planes in KEF. "Since you're here, why not take advantage of our free stopover and spend a day or two exploring our country before you continue on?" I wonder what percentage of passengers who opt to lay over is needed to make that profitable for the tourism industry?
Try flying Economy on the 25+ year old 767s that American Airlines flies to Latin America and you'll change your mind. Dirty thin hard seats with worn upholstery that don't recline more than some 5º and don't have legroom, they have fin room for sardines in a can (and I'm a short man!). IFE consists of ceiling CRT monitors. Attendants never smile and behave like ferocious Rottweilers trained by the Gestapo. I flew on them GRU-DFW (10 hours!) and back and it was a nightmare!
thanks for sharing! i always love your flight reviews, but this time I'd suggest that you please keep the camera more stable in order to avoid the shakiness!!! Keep them coming! :D
the best tip when you board a plane is ether first or second or to even 5 but is your not on like that level you should board last you you can go all the way without traffic....
Mal wieder ein klasse Trip Report :) Von Icelandair habe ich bisher auch nur Gutes gehört und dieser Trip Report hat das mal wieder bestätigt. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Kabine, die sieht ja mal richtig schick aus :D Hoffe das ich auch bald mal mit Icelandair fliegen werde ^^ Daumen hoch :)
The weird thing is how the tv monitors work. They work the same as Philippine airlines tv monitors. Like it has the same controls but it’s about a different airline. You get me?
I've watched almost every video you've made start to finish. I love your videos / videos like this Bc I'm an airplane geek. I'm going to be watching these on flights / pretty much anywhere I go when I have time.
I'ts true that WOW departs earlier then Icelandair... Had a flight with them to Amsterdam last summer. All morning flights depart between 5.30 and 6.45. At that time Icelandair starts their morning flights to Europe....
bitch be quiet you obviously you dont know anything about iceland cause in summer the sun sets at 3 AM and you do realise there is over 4 million tourists there. just because you dont know anything about it does not mean nobody knows about it.
Isn't a plane that has a 2-3-2 layout more for long haul trips? Seems like a big plane from Reykjavik to London. Or do they have a large number of passengers?
That IFE is exactly the same as on SAS´ new cabin on their A330s and A340s. As SAS recently started CPH-VIE (though with A319s/A320s and CRJ900s) I hope that we´ll soon see a trip report with them as the flights from VIE are well timed with flights onwards to ORD, NRT and PVG :-)
Did you google you info before posting it. This is where i beg to differ. Here are my facts Range, typical payload[d] 3,750 nmi, 6,950 km[c] source-->en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A319 distance from st.john's to LHR 2.308 nmi Source--->www.google.ca/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=distance+from+st.john's+to+lhr&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=KleEWOm1GYXd8gf1zZrICw#q=distance+from+st.john%27s+to+lhr+miles Thank you and come again.
Im flying alot from Trondheim to Keflavik with icelandair. Ive had some stopovers in iceland and i gotta say that the airport is really really crowded and bad. (Not enough capacity) But i simply love flying with Icelandair and the Boeing 757-200 :D
On a flight leaving iceland: "HEY HAVE YOU HEARD OF ICELAND? WANT TO GO THERE?"
me: *is about to go home from iceland*
the inflight entertainment system: H E Y HAVE YOU HEARD OF ICELAND??? 🗿💀💀
Ah yes , the negotiator
haha, why is iceland green but greenland ice
guns vs planes because it is
AbhiramR haha
because people wated to trick others by making that name
EM Tech silly isnt it
Grœnland translated to english is "Greenland" that's why it's called green but it's actually full of ice.
Flew from O’Hare to Berlin with stopover in Reykjavik. Didn’t realize Icelandair was a budget airline until afterwards. Service and punctuality were amazing. Would definitely fly again.
The 767 is truly one of the most comfortable twin aisle aircraft to fly on, with its 2-3-2 seating. Fairly quite too. Not too big, not too small. Perfect landing.
Some have 2-4-2 in economy
Great to see the ex Air New Zealand 767 being used
i think the entrie population of iceland was in that terminal.
Haha not the entire one but the majority ;)

they do for American flights I think but not europeans
onboard the flight to London the food was for purchase but maybe they serve complimentary food on longer flights.
trausti priv Reykjavik Keflavik - Toronto Pearson is like five to six hours. According to my sister they didn't serve anythingpay by VISA only.
Daniel K oh strange
There are screens behind the chairs
For a 2-hour flight, you really wouldn't have time to watch a full-length movie. The legroom was superior, but a snack along with the complimentary drink would be appreciated.

Icelandair gives out free drinks on the planes. But food is at a very affordable price
Icelandair gives under 12 years free sandwich and drinks
Yup. Rush hour at Keflavik is early morning and in the afternoon due to the shedule of icelandair flights....
Reminds me of my good flight on Condor!

I was looking forward to trying Icelandair, but I don't think I will be flying with them again for the following reasons:
1) No lounge access outside of Reykjavik, and connection times were too tight to access the lounge in Reykjavik.
2) No check-in counter available at Charles de Gaulle when I arrived early for my flight, and no instructions for where to drop off checked baggage after self check-in.
3) No priority boarding, and Keflavik airport is too small to accommodate the number of passengers connecting.
4) Inconsistent meal service, on the first segment, they were out of lamb, and on the second segment, I got the last beef.
5) I think the lower prices attracted people who typically wouldn't be seated in a premium cabin, as I had a disruptive, entitled family of three seated in my row.

I thought they might serve meals on board. And this is the first time I am seeing London sunny lol.
You have to purchase them. :/
Realy great video..but i just have one question...how can you manage to get a window seat in every single flight?
Gabriel Gabro he reserves in the website
I think that icelandair its a little bit incompentent they can go to latam or asia with new type of aircrafts (a330 or 787), new seating like fully-flat bed for business and better service like complete meals
But well its still a good airline
thanks for this vid i find your videos helpful and i see how they comfort and welcome passengers thanks a lot!
Thinking big picture, I wonder if Icelandair is just a loss-leader to encourage Icelandic tourism? It's usually the cheapest way to fly to Europe from North America (especially the west coast), and it just so happens to require tourists to change planes in KEF. "Since you're here, why not take advantage of our free stopover and spend a day or two exploring our country before you continue on?" I wonder what percentage of passengers who opt to lay over is needed to make that profitable for the tourism industry?
Very nice report on the quiet and competent 767, rated one of the most comfortable jets to fly.
I think you mix up the 787 with the 767, the 767 is not really quiet and comfortable to fly on.
Try flying Economy on the 25+ year old 767s that American Airlines flies to Latin America and you'll change your mind. Dirty thin hard seats with worn upholstery that don't recline more than some 5º and don't have legroom, they have fin room for sardines in a can (and I'm a short man!). IFE consists of ceiling CRT monitors. Attendants never smile and behave like ferocious Rottweilers trained by the Gestapo. I flew on them GRU-DFW (10 hours!) and back and it was a nightmare!
Ex Air New Zealand Boeing 767 and looks like Iceland Air have done a good job and reconfiguring the aircraft

The fps is pretty smooth
Icelandair seems like a cool airline. Loved the report! Quality as always!
Thank you so much! :D
thanks for sharing! i always love your flight reviews, but this time I'd suggest that you please keep the camera more stable in order to avoid the shakiness!!!
Keep them coming! :D
Thanks! It was really cold in Iceland that's the the video was so shaky.
12:19 Even Pretty little Liars? omg nicee
the best tip when you board a plane is ether first or second or to even 5 but is your not on like that level you should board last you you can go all the way without traffic....
Yay The Tripreport Is Out !
It Was A Nice Tripreport :)
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
This is so fun and awesome
Finally a good icelandair trip report
Thank you! :D
Great Report. My only criticism is that your camera movement is too fast specially in the beginning at the airport.
Mal wieder ein klasse Trip Report :) Von Icelandair habe ich bisher auch nur Gutes gehört und dieser Trip Report hat das mal wieder bestätigt. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Kabine, die sieht ja mal richtig schick aus :D Hoffe das ich auch bald mal mit Icelandair fliegen werde ^^ Daumen hoch :)
Dankeschön! Ja war auch sehr positiv mein Eindruck von Icelandair, auch die 767 hat mir sehr gut gefallen. :D
12:40 For me, out of all countries having the best “Sponge Bobs”, it has to be Spain, with “Bob Esponja”
The weird thing is how the tv monitors work. They work the same as Philippine airlines tv monitors. Like it has the same controls but it’s about a different airline. You get me?
Excellent video. Thanks for the ride along. Mrs. Bouquet would have been appalled by those windows! Cheers.
Thank you and all of the other trip reporters u guys have inspired me to do This when I'm older and travel 😀
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that! Hope to see you first vid soon!
Simply Aviation I have some GoPro vids from a recent trip to Arizona on 2 md-88's, a Boeing 737-900 and an a320 but it's only view out the window
The WOW air desks could be closed because their flights are later in the day
Jack Jack Productions meet reality duh
So duh
U is duh
Love it so much!
This is probably the best tripreport of yours
I've watched almost every video you've made start to finish. I love your videos / videos like this Bc I'm an airplane geek. I'm going to be watching these on flights / pretty much anywhere I go when I have time.
This Report totallly reminds me of my cancelled flight from KEF to STR.... BTW, awesome like always, dude! :D
Thank you! Sorry to hear that your flight was cancelled.
I'ts true that WOW departs earlier then Icelandair... Had a flight with them to Amsterdam last summer. All morning flights depart between 5.30 and 6.45. At that time Icelandair starts their morning flights to Europe....
Did you enjoyed the flight with WOW Air?
Perfect video after a long day :)
Great that we can make your day better with our trip report. :D
Iceland be like: Please visit us...please...*PLEASE!!!*..it's always dark and we are so alone D-:
In Iceland it's not all the year round dark in summer you have nearly 24/7 sunlight.
bitch be quiet you obviously you dont know anything about iceland cause in summer the sun sets at 3 AM and you do realise there is over 4 million tourists there. just because you dont know anything about it does not mean nobody knows about it.
@Eva Katrín Danielsd. Cassidy um sumarið já en venjulegum degi nei
Thank you David and Felix. This is so exciting.
U DESERVE 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
Isn't a plane that has a 2-3-2 layout more for long haul trips? Seems like a big plane from Reykjavik to London. Or do they have a large number of passengers?
That IFE is exactly the same as on SAS´ new cabin on their A330s and A340s. As SAS recently started CPH-VIE (though with A319s/A320s and CRJ900s) I hope that we´ll soon see a trip report with them as the flights from VIE are well timed with flights onwards to ORD, NRT and PVG :-)
We'll post a trip report of SAS onboard one of their CRJ900 but currently we have no plans of flying long haul with them.
love your videos bro,Keep it up! :D
Thank you very much! :D
Was that you yelling in the plane
nice job David can't wait for next friday !
Thank you! Just a view days to go!
Wait, Air Canada Uses A319's To Canada from LHR????
It's a short distance fly. St. johns -> LHr.
Did you google you info before posting it. This is where i beg to differ. Here are my facts
Range, typical payload[d] 3,750 nmi, 6,950 km[c] source-->en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A319
distance from st.john's to LHR 2.308 nmi

Thank you and come again.
Actually saying that BA Run a A318 from LHR-SHANNON-JFK So sorry
Yes, also Westjet operates a flight between Canada and Europe with a 737-700.
From St John, Canada to London UK there's only 3700 km
Easy for an A319.
What are the other airlines that travel to Iceland?
ahhh it's so good to see this Airport again. Been here at summer and it was awesome!
You're welcome! Did you enjoyed it?
Althoung it is an old plane looks like a new 767-300.They must be take care good of it.Nice Tripreport
Icelandair bought it last year so the refitted with a complete new cabin.
Nice vid;) keep it up! Cant wait for the flight report with wow air
Thank you! We'll post the WOW Air as well but don't know the release date.
Im flying alot from Trondheim to Keflavik with icelandair. Ive had some stopovers in iceland and i gotta say that the airport is really really crowded and bad. (Not enough capacity) But i simply love flying with Icelandair and the Boeing 757-200 :D
Do you have any trip reports on Condor Flugdienst?
You guys should start providing details about what you paid for the flight or other specifics if it was a mileage flight and how many it cost etc.
Awesome trip report, as always! ☺️
Thank you!
