Why I was pleasantly surprised by Icelandair

 I was surprised that I really liked my Icelandair flights. Below is why

- flight was $500 cheaper than the air Canada flight

- I was worried about the 1.5 hour stopover in Reykjavik that it wouldn’t be sufficient time, but it is a small airport and the pre email from the airline said to quickly go thru passport control and then you have an hour to shop and wait.

- I was worrying about the smaller transatlantic plane a 737 9 but i didn’t find it had any more bumpier than the larger planes

- they were on time for both flights

- my luggage arrived quicker than air Canada even though there was a transfer in Reykjavik 

- seat selection and baggage is cheaper than air Canada 

- there are no meals or food or drinks complimentary. But I bought a baguette in Cdg, and then pre ordered their open face sandwich for the longer flight. Water was served several times on each flight

Try ‘this airline. I think you will be impressed 

Hope this helps
