Icelandair provides another low cost route for summer 2015 travel between Portland Oregon PDX and European destinations. Seasonal service from Portland PDX – KEF Reykjavik, Iceland begins May 20, 2015 through October 21, 2015.
This piece developed from a comment by Edwin on one of the articles I wrote today about flying low cost carriers on one way tickets for travel to Europe from the USA this July. Flying low cost airlines allow flying around to several countries in Europe at prices comparable to the $1000+ airfares on major airlines from the west coast.
