Icelandair returns as a Mileage Plan Partner
Logged in tonight in order to check on something and was pleasantly surprised to see an announcement that Icelandair was back as a Mileage Plan Partner--complete with access to the Saga Lounge for Gold and Gold 75Ks--with "more elite benefits to come in 2016."
There's also a Double Miles offer for Icelandair Flights between October 1 and December 15.
Quite pleased. Nice to see them back!

Hail Mary and thank you Baby Jesus!
Now waiting for details to see if cheapie fares are logged at 100% RDM or something lesser. KEF is a better transfer than AAnother option at ORD, DFW or JFK.

However, the 25% accrual seemed unnecessarily cruel. (N,U,P fares)

Icelandair also offers customers the option of taking an Icelandair Stopover for up to seven nights at no additional airfare, so you get two destinations for the price of one.

If it helps, I couldn't get the Icelandair site to price anything out in N, U, or P at the moment. The lowest fare offered to me was in the 50% bracket. Hopefully I continue to not have to worry about N, U, or P fares.

Over the past couple years I've accumalated about 30k Iceland Saga Points - with this partnership, does it mean I can use those points for flights on Alaska also? I know they had a partnership in the past - did they allow such flight bookings previously?
