Iceland zone for awards
I'm considering a trip to Iceland - I see that SK fly OSL-KEF, and there's an LH flight from HAM starting soon. There is availability on the ANA tool, but I can't find any mention of what zone Iceland is in for redemptions. Is it zone 2 for Europe, or zone 3 like USA/Greenland?
I'd probably be better off saving my miles and just paying for Icelandair/Iceland Express, but if it's in zone 2 it might be worth it.

Using the miles for this saved my arse* as I had a very cheap BA LGW-KEF flight booked outbound and a pretty cheap FI flight back to LHR and then BA went and cancelled the route leaving me with no options to get to KEF under £150 one way. Unfortunately when I booked the SK flight it was a same day connection and then SK had a schedule change and it was no longer possble to connect same day in OSL from LHR so then I had to book a hotel in OSL etc. etc. That will teach me to book well ahead with BA !!
* FT lets you type arse but not a-double-s. How crazy is that!!!
