Iceland Express

Upside
Iceland's only budget airlines sometimes offers some great deals as well as good service and friendly flight crew.

Downside
To-and-from-Iceland route map is of limited value. Fares are sometimes expensive for a budget airline.

About
Iceland Express is the only low-cost carrier with a hub in Iceland. It's also very likely the savviest budget airline in Europe, with an exciting and well-designed site. (Can you think of another airline that makes their route map look like a metro map?)
Iceland's low-fare airline connects the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík with 13 airports in Scandinavia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Spain.

Iceland Express runs a much expanded service in the summer, with flights between Reykjavík and Alicante, Basel, Berlin, Billund, Copenhagen, Eindhoven, Frankfurt Hahn, Friedrichshafen, London, Oslo, Paris, and Stockholm, plus flights between Copenhagen and two cities in Iceland: Akureyri and Egilsstaðir.

Baggage
* Carry-on: One bag and one personal item, total weight not to exceed 10 kg.
* Checked: Up to 20 kg of luggage. Over this limit, you are charged €11 per kilo. (Ouch!)

Seating
You can reserve seats up to 24-hours in advance of your flight. A small fee applies. If you don’t book a seat, one will be selected for you at check-in.

Tip
We love the "Icebreaker" deal section of Iceland Express' site. Check it frequently for promotions.
