In reviewing the September airfares of cost-cutting
Iceland Express (not to be confused with the more expensive
Icelandair), I've focused on their round-trip prices between New York and
London (including all taxes and fees). Those are frequently as spectacular as in the high-$500s. I should have pointed out that their round-trips between New York and
Copenhagen,
Oslo and
Berlin are even better. Try a test booking for a Saturday departure in September, a Saturday return, and you'll frequently find tickets selling as low as $608 to Copenhagen from New York, round-trip and including all taxes and fees. You'll pay only slightly more to Oslo, and you'll pay about $866 round-trip to Berlin (including all taxes and fees). Considering the distance flown, the inclusion of all taxes and fees, and the normal September prices on the standard carriers, those are excellent fares from
Iceland Express.
All flights, of course, are via
Reykjavik, which some travelers regard as a major advantage, lending them the opportunity to tour the capital of Iceland for a day or two en route.
