Is the 29,000 Y price from Iceland really just ~US$1500?
Using the Jayhawk spreadsheet and today's exchange rate - that's what I see...
However, I don't know what flights would be available from KEF to START/END the journey!

Yup. On an earlier thread when this was raised (after the Iceland currency first fell out) I posted at least one itinerary I ran thru the *A RTW tool that confirmed ok. That tool is really a lot of fun and pretty helpful for figuring these things out.
Given how hard it is to get to KEP to start, I kind of think ICN for a few hundred more is a better option.

A poster above asked about buying the tickets in Germany. As I understand it, you can now buy tickets anywhere for the price of the start location, correct?

As of 3 November!!
Perhaps the bigger problem might be meeting the new restriction to a maximum of 16 coupons. I just picked up two RTWs starting at ICN and it was not easy getting everything into just 16 coupons, especially when an airport transfer on the ground, e.g. MXP/LIN or SVO/DMD counts as a flight coupon! I expect this would be an even bigger issue out of KEP!
