I thought it was worth it.
Not a bad deal.
I tried that twice some years ago, and both times I was told that the fare class did not allow for a stopover, even though in the second case they trumpeted that option in the fare sale email itself. It ticked me off, and the service in Y was truly pathetic the last time I flew them. I stopped flying Icelandair because of that and because they began to de-emphasize their MSP gateway. I don't believe they fly from MSP anymore.
So I've been to the airport several times without ever seeing Reykjavik.
