Icelandair joins economy fares trend
Icelandair has joined the increasing number of airlines segmenting their economy-class fares with the announcement of a new pricing structure. The carrier is introducing a new budget level, economy light, which aims to attract passengers traveling with carry-on luggage only. Unlike the basic economy fares increasingly being introduced in the US, Icelandair’s new fare will allow passengers the same on-board service and amenities as other economy-class passengers, including the ability to pre-select their seats, plus non-alcoholic drinks and Wi-Fi. Economy Light provides a carry-on allowance of up to 10 kg (22 lbs). With the introduction of economy light, the airline’s former economy class will become economy standard, and Icelandair economy class flex will become economy flex. <br/>
