FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
On B757-200 and 300 flights we offer a selected entertainment programme
tailored to the length of the flight including the latest available in-flight fea-
ture films, and/or shorter entertainment programmes.We also offer multi-
channel stereo music. Headsets are complimentary on all scheduled flights.
Icelandair business just got even better with the addition of personal in-
flight DVD movies. On flights to and from North-America eight films are
available in several languages to suit all tastes. Top quality Pioneer stereo
headphones ensure maximum clarity and sound. Duty Free shopping is
available at our on-board Saga Boutique where you will find a varied range
of products.
FOR YOUR COMFORT
For added comfort we offer our passengers pillows and blankets on all
flights. On intercontinental flights, Business Class passengers receive a trav-
el kit containing slumber shades, socks, earplugs and several other ameni-
ties for in-flight comfort.
Above each seat is a reading light switch, and a call button for use if there
is anything you require. Ear blockage may be experienced during take-off
and landing.Yawning or swallowing usually remedies it.We also carry a small
supply of medicines on-board, which may help with minor ailments.
Fortunately, deep vein thrombosis is a rare condition that can occur during
travel. Sitting for long periods of time results in slower blood flow due to
compression of the veins in the groin and behind the knees. As a conse-
quence, a blood clot may form. In the modern world, many situations may
increase the risk of forming clots, such as a long car or train ride, or sitting
at an office desk for an extended period of time. In light of this, Icelandair
offers travellers the following advice: Have a full night’s sleep, avoid heavy
meals and use alcohol moderately before a flight. Also, wear loose, com-
fortable clothing during the flight and try to stretch your body and take
strolls through the cabin whenever possible. Several simple exercises such
as rotating your head, lifting your shoulders to your ears, rotating your
ankles in circles and stretching your calves are easy to do while sitting.
When arriving at your home or hotel, lying down and raising your legs is
also advisable.With these suggestions in mind, we hope your journey is a
comfortable one.
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
To make the flight as much fun as possible for our youngest passengers,
they all receive some toys, i.e. colouring books, crayons etc.We also offer
a special children audio channel. In addition there will be a number of Game
Boys for loan, all in colour, aboard all scheduled Icelandair flights.The Game
Boys are handed out after take-off, at the time when colouring books and
other children’s playthings are distributed.The Game Boys come with ear-
phones so that children can enjoy the game without disturbing other pas-
sengers.We hope that our young passengers enjoy this service and that it
will help to shorten their flight. The number of Game Boys on-board are
limited, so when you have finished using it, please return the Game Boy to
the cabin crew.That way other children may also enjoy the game. For the
babies on-board, we can provide diapers and bibs upon request.

the length of the flight, the class of service and the time of day.
