Advantages: FAST! FRIENDLY! Disadvantages: NONE FOR SCOTTISH PASSENGERS, LONDON PASSENGERS HAVE ONE CHANGE
I had my first flight with Icelandair. Icelandair fly from Glasgow and Heathrow to Halifax, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Baltimore/Washington BWI, Boston and Orlando, via their "hub" at Reykjavik. From Scotland, this offers significant time savings. Normally Glasgow passengers have to fly to London or Amsterdam, and then fly back over Scotland, over Iceland then down to America. A lot of wasted time which Icelandair save.
They operate a fleet of Boeing 757s. On-board, the seats were comfortable, the food was excellent - try the Icelandic beer, Egils, it is great! - and the staff were genuinally friendly, and I was quickly settled in!
Reykavik airport is a breeze to transfer through. You can't get lost in it! Icelandair connections allow for 60-90 minutes at this small airport, and a range of facilities from ATM's to duty-free shops ...

Advantages: Quick and efficient check-in and disembarkment. Disadvantages: Big class division. Cramped elbow and leg space. The food!!
For our planned holiday to Reykjavik (reviews to follow), Icelandair was the natural choice of airlines. A choice based on the airline's catchphrase from their advert "Icelandair connects Iceland to Europe".
We flew from Manchester to Keflavik Airport where there are twice weekly flights. Other UK airports serviced by Icelandair are London Heathrow (daily flights) and Glasgow (also twice weekly). Icelandair flies from the UK not only to Iceland but also onwards to New York, Boston, Washington, Orlando, Minneapolis, Halifax and Toronto.
The service in general was smooth and quick. Check-in and disembarkment proceded problem-free. The flight kept closely to its schedule. But . . .
The "frosty service" forming the title of my review is perhaps a little too strong - but the service was certainly ambivalent teetering on the edge ...

Advantages: You get a movie for only a 3 hour flight, on-demand entertainment if lucky Disadvantages: Food isn't great, no online checkin
The whole subject of Iceland may be a bit controversial at the moment, but let me give a little information about the country's national airline.
Icelandair has been flying in various forms since 1937. The name Icelandair has been in use since 1973. Their home airport is Keflavik airport in southwest Iceland, about 40 minutes from Reykjavik.
A lot of people fly with Icelandair if they are flying to the US, as they offer one of the cheapest business class options to cross the Atlantic. That arrangement involves changing planes (or a stopover) in Iceland. Their business class product isn't quite up to the same standard as most trans-Atlantic airlines.
The vast majority of their planes are Boeing 757's, configured with 6 seats per row in economy, 4 in business.
