ICELANDAIR: How can I fly to Iceland?
Icelandair is a part of the Icelandair group that started in 1937 when Flugfélag Akureyrar was found in Akureyri. Flight operations started in 1938 with a single floatplane. In 1939 the company moved to Reykjavik when this aircraft was destroyed in an accident and re-launched in 1940. Six Douglas DC-3 were purchased which remained in service with the airline until 1972. Icelandair offers three booking classes: Economy light, Economy, and Saga class which is equivalent to business class. Passengers will get free meals in Saga class and a buy onboard service {Economy class passengers can purchase their own food} is available in Economy class.
All Icelandair aircraft are equipped with an in-flight entertainment system that includes seatback, and touch screen monitors for each passenger. Free meals, blankets, pillows, and handsets are provided to passengers and also have a section for children’s entertainment. Special assistance is provided for travelers with pets and young travelers. There are also Special services for blind people, expectant mothers, wheelchair services, POC medical services. The insight magazine of Icelandair is printed four times a year in Icelandic and English.

During the flight, you need to follow the proper precautionary measure like wearing your mask at all times.

Wash or sanitize your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, especially after contact with commonly touched surfaces. Do not rush in the airplane after it stops at the parking, practice the same hand hygiene and physical distancing.
