Excess checked baggage starts at approximately $60 when purchased online (varies by route); airport prices are roughly 20% higher. Up to three additional bags per passenger can be prepaid online. Bags weighing 24–32 kg cannot be prepaid online and must be paid for at the airport.

Can I bring sports equipment or oversized items?
Yes, but they count toward your baggage allowance and must not exceed 32 kg per item. Fragile or high-value sports equipment may require special handling. Contact the airline at [email protected] or +354 5050 100 to arrange transport of unusual items.
What happens if my bag is overweight?
Bags exceeding 32 kg cannot be transported and must be restructured or split. Overweight charges apply to bags between the standard limit and 32 kg; exact rates depend on route and when payment is made. Prepay online when possible to save up to 20% versus airport rates.
Are there restrictions on liquids or hazardous items in checked baggage?
Yes. International aviation rules restrict liquids, gels, and hazardous materials. For details on what is prohibited, visit www.icelandair.com or contact the airline directly before packing.
