Yesterday I wondered if low Delta and United fares to Europe were a response to Icelandair low fares? Checking US airports where Icelandair operates Reykjavik routes indicates each of these airports has competitive fares to Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Brussels, Amsterdam, UK and Scandinavia from Delta and/or United and their alliance partners. Icelandair has the lowest fare for most routes, especially London and Paris, as much as $500 less than Delta or United from Seattle.

USA airports with Icelandair Routes offer fare sales

  1. Seattle SEA
  2. Portland PDX
  3. Denver DEN
  4. Minneapolis MSP
  5. Chicago ORD
  6. Boston BOS
  7. New York JFK
  8. Washington DC IAD
  9. Orlando MCO

Many of these same airports offer low fares to Europe today from Delta and United relative to their fares from other airports around the US.

Fare War with Icelandair

The general idea is any of the Icelandair airports in USA should have low fares today to these same airports I have shown for Seattle and Nordic capitals Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm I did not list in this post. Delta and United have lowered their fares on many of these routes to compete with low Icelandair fares. This is a good time to get a ticket to London or Paris with Icelandair or take advantage of relatively low Delta and United competitive fares during this Icelandair sale.

Loyalty Traveler – Icelandair Boston to Paris $435, London $490 with free Iceland stopover and low United fares to Germany (June 10).
