Do you have a layover in Boston over 6+ hours?

Icelandair begins checking in bags for flights 3.5 hours before flight departure. If your layover is less than 6 hours, we recommend waiting in the check-in area until it’s time to check-in. If your layover is greater than 6+ hours, then we have some ideas for you!
