Is 2 hours 20 minutes enough time? I've read through lots of threads and I'm not clear on what we have to go through in transit, although it seems we will have to pick up our bag and recheck it. Security again?
I can't even figure out which terminal we'll land in and which one Icelandair departs from.
I'm starting to panic because we're meeting my mother in Reykjavik, her flight arrives from SEA 15 min after ours, and if we miss our connection she'll be on her own for who knows how long.
I can't find quick info on FI either, although I note that according to the FI press release, FI first class members have privileges at the Air France lounge. That is at B46. So, by bet is that the FI flight is out of A or B terminal.
You're coming in on mainline UA which will be parking at C or D. Under normal circumstances, its going to be a bit close (owing to the bag check). If you have any delays out of IAH, its going to be real close.
Given that the FI flight is coming from KEF and returning back to KEF, expect it to be on time. Urk.
