Ever wished you could use a “call a friend” option when planning a trip? If you don’t need a full travel agent but could use some local advice for your Iceland getaway, Icelandair’s new Buddy Hotline gives you exactly that.
Passengers flying with Icelandair can connect with a Buddy — an Icelandair staff member — to get tips, destination information, and personalised suggestions. You can call the hotline or message your Buddy via Facebook to ask about routes, attractions, dining, or practical travel tips. The service is available both before you travel and while you’re on the move, so you can get up-to-date recommendations when you need them.
Each Icelandair Buddy combines local knowledge with a passion for Iceland. They share insider perspectives on lesser-known sights, seasonal highlights, and efficient ways to structure day trips and stopovers. Planning through the eyes of a local helps you discover authentic experiences and make the most of your time, whether you’re focused on natural wonders, cultural stops, or relaxed exploration.
The hotline is open to all Icelandair customers. Weekday hours run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and weekend hours are 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. This service is offered for a limited time and will be available until July 8, so check availability when arranging your trip. For full details and any terms, consult Icelandair’s official guidance before booking.
