FAQs - booking Iceland flights

  • Are there any nonstop flights from Vancouver to Iceland?

    Icelandair operates nonstop flights to Reykjavik (KEF) on select days of the week. These flights leave in the afternoon and will get you to Iceland in under 8 hours. If these days and times do not work, WestJet offers a flight with only one layover, still getting you to your destination efficiently. If your flight does include a layover, Calgary (YYC) is where you will most likely stop.

  • Will I be charged extra for my baggage?

    All baggage fees are set by the airline and determined by which ticket type you book. On WestJet, their Basic fare does not include a checked bag and you will be charged extra for it. You can upgrade to EconoFlex to have a checked bag included with your ticket. With Icelandair, you can bring one carry-on free of charge on Economy Light. To have a checked bag added, upgrade to Economy Standard.

  • What travel documents do I need for my flight to Iceland?

    Iceland is a part of the Schengen Zone, making travel more seamless between the member states. If you're using a Canadian passport, you do not need a visa for the Schengen Zone and are good to go for a trip to Iceland. There is no need for a visa if you plan to stay as a tourist for up to 90 days. Just ensure your passport is valid for at least 90 days beyond your return date from Iceland. In addition, you should have a return ticket or proof of onward travel if asked.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Iceland

  • Your journey will begin at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). It's a good idea to arrive early, and while you wait, you can spend your time at the Plaza Premium Lounge on level 3 of the international terminal. In there, you can enjoy refreshments, TVs, and Wi-Fi.
  • If you want to lessen your environmental impact, consider flying direct. On average, nonstop flights produce about 25% less emissions than connecting flights. In addition, you can participate in WestJet’s program, to combat climate change by buying carbon-offset credits for your travels.
  • An alternative airport you can fly out of is Abbotsford International Airport (YXX), located about 65 km east of Vancouver. Flights from this airport, however, are likely to have a layover and add a little more time to your journey.
  • Streamline your arrival at Keflavik Airport (KEF) by arranging a meet and greet service. You will be welcomed with a personal assistant who will escort you through the airport and passport control and help you with your bags. This can be especially useful for first-time flyers.
  • Consider upgrading to the EconoFlex fare on WestJet for added flexibility. With this fare, you can change or cancel your flight with no fee, select your seat in advance, and bring one checked bag free of charge.

Horrible, delayed 3 hours due to a mechanical issue where the plane is deemed unsafe so we had to deplane after an hour on the tarmac. No credit was given even though plenty of passengers missed their connecting flights and then the baggage claim info showed that no flight was being loaded on the carousel whilst the bags were being dropped, so no one knew if it was the right flight or not since the arrivals screen didn’t show anything.

We traveled with a 7 year old that has autism and he is significantly cognitively delayed. Your site makes it known there are no wagons allowed even if they fold down flat and many autistic children cannot travel without one because they are unable to follow directions or cooperate with walking through the airport and are too big for a stroller. Please consider making exceptions for our special needs children. Also it would be very thoughtful if you’d allow seat selection for no fee for special needs families. The autistic child we traveled with must sit behind another adult in our family because he continuously kicks the seat in front of him and is unable to understand why that is disruptive. We had to pay quite a bit extra to have our 4 seats situated with 2 in row 19 and 2 in row 20 directly behind.

The crew was excellent. The turbulence was very bad and they were unable to serve our dinner. The captain informed the passengers that we were going to get water and snack instead. They provided us ample snacks instead. Otherwise the trip was good.

I loved the fact it was on time and it was a smooth flight to my destination.

Service was okay except attendant over served alcohol to passenger and passenger got tipsy and made me uncomfortable

Could not make the flight. No one would help us at all

Great flight, great landing, nice staff. Our seats were a little cramped.

Overall good experience. The wait for baggage at our destination was quite long, but other than that everything was good as expected

Do not fly on WestJet if you have a connection. It failed to integrate with my connecting Delta flight and I almost missed it.

The experience was good just the upcharge of over a hundred dollars was not cool.

As always, Air Canada flight was delayed for almost more than an hour, which made my time of my flight 15 hours which was absolutely unacceptable.

Plane was late. Too many announcements during the flight. Made me pay that deposit. Uncomfortable seats.

The help at check-in area was excellent! The crew on board was great and the legroom and entertainment is excellent!

Contacting Canada air was a disaster. I will never fly Canada air again. If you called their 1-800 number, you were told that you might have to stay on the line for two hours. That is a disgrace. You should be able to speak to a human within the first 10-15 minutes. I went over to a cluster of phones and a lot of people were on hold with Canada air for 2-3 hours. This is why I will never fly Canada air again.

It was a very easy process and my children were very happy about the flight.

We were told every hour that the flight was delayed until finally late in the day the flight was cancelled. We had to wait in line over an hour to finally get another flight. Once on the flight the host was ridiculously incoherent in the loudspeaker in flight - very inhospitable. Not happy with our experience.

Flight was late from Vancouver to San Francisco but they never announced

Delayed twice then cancelled at 02.00 in the morning. Left 300 people to sleep on the terminal floor overnight. Zero communication due to zero Air Canada staff.

Packed very carefully and did a 4 day trip with a 'personal item' only. Much less trouble than a carry on. Only 'entertainment' i need is the flight map. Did not work.

Our family of four were seated separated entirely from one another. We were hopeful to at least be paired up with our children in groups of two. Remember that no food is provided. You will get two beverages and a single Made Good granola bite size bar. Air Canada Bistro menu is available for purchase. Blankets, pillows, and headphones are also available for purchase.

Although the flight from JFK to Keflavik is not inexpensive, Iceland Air offers nothing but water, no soft drinks, to passengers without a charge. The seats are uncomfortable, there is no leg room, and there was no available internet to purchase.

The plane was 100% full. Too cramped and difficult for stewards to do their work on such a large plane.

Was hard to sleep, but other then that everything was good.

We got to the runway and had to go back to terminal to have plane worked on, which is fine, but the 40 minute connecting flight was already gone because of this delay and had to wait 5 hours to get on a different flight and only got a meal voucher which I didn’t see the email until after I had already ordered and paid for food. I feel I should be compensated.

Only serving 2 small coffee in 7.5 hrs flight with very limited choice to order food.

Booked with Kayak… Economy Class it said. I had filtered for 1 checked bag. Get to boarding and it says I have Economy Light w/ no checked bags. $136 each way for baggage now. Do not use smartfares.com. Very misleading and a terrible start to this trip.

Overall good. I was surprised how easy it was to get from plain to plain in such a short time. Food choices were not so great and quite expensive. Entertainment was ok. Flights were smooth.

The staff was really friendly and was comfortable. I found it disappointing that we were never offered any snacks while on the flight. For such a long flight and the amount we paid for our ticket that was unacceptable. Not sure if I’ll fly Icelandair again.

One small complaint: people in economy frequently were coming through the curtain to use the saga lavatory.

On time and crew were good. Our seating arrangements in biz class were messed up, separated us as a couple and bulkhead seating not good for long legs.
