  1. Visit www.icelandair.com or open the mobile app 24 hours before your flight.
  2. Enter your booking reference and passenger name to access your reservation.
  3. Select your seat (if not already assigned) and confirm your baggage and passenger details.
  4. Complete check-in and download or forward your mobile boarding pass to your phone or email.
  5. If you have checked baggage, proceed to the counter or self-service kiosks at the airport before boarding.

Practical tip: Download the Icelandair app to save time and receive push notifications about your flight status.

Can I check in at the airport instead of online?
Yes. Airport check-in is available at the airline counter. However, online check-in is faster and avoids queues, especially during peak travel periods.
What if I need to add baggage after I've checked in online?
If you have not yet checked in a bag at the counter or kiosk, you can add baggage at self-service kiosks or the baggage counter. Additional baggage fees apply if not prepaid during booking.
