I had my first flight with Icelandair. Icelandair fly from Glasgow and Heathrow to Halifax, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Baltimore/Washington BWI, Boston and Orlando, via their "hub" at Reykjavik. From Scotland, this offers significant time savings. Normally Glasgow passengers have to fly to London or Amsterdam, and then fly back over Scotland, over Iceland then down to America. A lot of wasted time which Icelandair save.
They operate a fleet of Boeing 757s. On-board, the seats were comfortable, the food was excellent - try the Icelandic beer, Egils, it is great! - and the staff were genuinally friendly, and I was quickly settled in!
Reykavik airport is a breeze to transfer through. You can't get lost in it! Icelandair connections allow for 60-90 minutes at this small airport, and a range of facilities from ATM's to duty-free shops is offered, They also have an Islandia store offering Icelandic produce. In fact, my onward flight used the same aircraft and departed from the same gate as we arrived on.
For the onward flight, a comedy, movie and travel show on Iceland were shown, and again very tasty food was provided.
My flight arrived EARLY and baggage was unloaded quickly, and I can't wait to use them again!
Whether you live in London or Scotland, I would recommend this airline, as their fares are nearly always much lower than everyone else's, and the quick change in Reykjavik is easy.
