It is sad to see this, but that is how it now is. I have come to believe that Icelandair does not want a FF program that encourages carrier loyality...

...Icelandair has gone downhill, big time, when it comes to their FF program.
Having essentially no FF program or partners could position them to be Southwest's Europe partner. Southwest is very public that they're on the hunt. Icelandair is their only tolerable and logical option. By all indications, Southwest, WestAir and Volaris are all going back to the drawing board in favor of one common program, or each having one that looks like the others. Doesn't Icelandair already fly into several Southwest stations? And Southwest did choose Terminal E at BOS. @:-)
