Icelandair has released a new pricing structure giving passengers more fare options when booking travel.

The newest fare level, Economy Light, will reward passengers who travel with less, while providing the same on-board service and amenities Icelandair passengers have grown to expect.

Economy Light passengers will be able to pre-select their seats in the same cabin as other passengers, with an allowance of up to ten kilogrammes of carry-on luggage included.

“We are making some progressive changes in our service and among those is Economy Light.

“This option is designed for travellers taking a short weekend getaway or a quick business trip abroad.

“The new fare is also perfect when traveling with family members that don’t require additional luggage such as children, or couples who can pack together.

“These passengers will enjoy the same quality of service from Icelandair including in-flight entertainment, non-alcoholic beverages, gate-to-gate wi-fi access and comfortable, spacious seats,” said Guðmundur Óskarsson, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Icelandair.

“We are widening our product options to meet the various needs of our passengers. This will make traveling more flexible and affordable, to better serve the many different types of travellers who fly with us,” Oskarsson added.

Icelandair has been in operation since 1937 and celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.
