It is our intention to carry passengers to their destination at the earliest opportunity when our flying program has fully resumed.

A note on refunds, cancellation and wait-listing procedures:
When passengers decide to cancel their trip and get it refunded, it is extremely important that flight segments are cancelled right away to get a true booking count. Passengers requiring a refund should go back to the point of sale. For online refunds, click here

Re-book to a later date. Take an Icelandair flight to your destination at a later date convenient to you.
