Icelandair pet policy: flying with a dog or cat
Cabin
Not allowed
The carrier's rule+
- Icelandair does not offer a cabin option for ordinary pets on any route, domestic or international: the official 'Travel and animals' page only describes hold (cargo) animal transport and, separately, service dogs, which travel free as an assistance category rather than as a passenger's pet.
- No cabin-pet section exists on the site in either the English or Icelandic version.
Hold
Not allowed
The carrier's rule+
- As of 1 November 2024 Icelandair stopped transporting animals in the hold on international flights due to a fleet change.
- Hold transport is still allowed on domestic flights within Iceland, but no specific route pairs are named on the site ('all domestic routes'), so the overall cargo.allowed flag is left false and the domestic-only program is described in text instead of routes_only.
- Weight limits, crate requirements, and hold pricing are not published on any page checked.
Flying Icelandair?
A personal plan combines the airline's rules with the destination's
Pets are accepted neither in the cabin nor in the hold, so this carrier has no pet conditions and no “where you can fly with a pet” list. Exceptions for service dogs, if any, are set out in the carrier's own rule — under the cards and in the source below.
