Icelandair has a pretty standard baggage policy. Most fare types get 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on; however, Saga Premium Flex passengers get 2 pieces for checked and carry-on.
Extra baggage is reasonably priced, but watch out for oversized luggage as the airline does not disclose their oversized baggage fees.

For baggage fees related to special luggage (sporting equipment, musical instruments, etc.) please refer to Icelandair’s policy.
Can I Pre-Pay for Baggage?
Icelandair does allow passengers the ability to pre-pay luggage online to receive 20% off of the airport prices. This applies to flights that don’t involve another airline. Passengers can also pay for baggage when checking in, but baggage will be charged at a higher rate.
To pre-pay, log-in to your booking and add the number of bags that you would like to purchase.
