+1

We do this regularly (SO is Icelandic), and I wish I could use my DL status. But the trail goes dead at KEF...if they would continue onward to Europe they could directly compete with FI. Until then it seems more like a weekly charter flight.

I have seen competitive fares, but not for my next trip.

I may get lucky if SM2015 one ways really are an enhancement, just take a hop onward to Europe on someone cheap like Air Berlin. Not holding my breath on the enhancement part.
