It's too bad but not surprising that there isn't an additional EU destination on the schedule from MSP as attempts in the past for FCO most recently and FRA earlier plus IIRC someplace in Scandinavia didn't work well. However, I do remember that DUB was mentioned as a possibility at some point. The fact that KEF remains seems a bit strange.
KL is again doing less-than-daily 4th flight MSP-AMS in the summer. Not sure what exact days of the week. AF is back in summer, upgauged to 777 from A332.
I never understood why DL put a 764 on MSP-FCO. It should have been a low-J 763. If there was a 'surplus' 764 that summer, it could have perhaps been put on a 763 route to shuffle one here for FCO. I got a $799 JCM (to coin an acronym) on our MSP-FCO at the check in window. Took it X2 for me and partner. Didn't offer enough extra revenue to save the route, alas.
I assume DL is doing KEF from here because Iceland is a) still pretty 'hot' as a destination and b) to respond to Icelandair. Though with WoW imploding, that might not be as necessary. Icelandair isn't particularly cheap from here. I haven't looked yet, but the past couple summers Condor has quietly been ramping up frequence and length of season. Hmmm.
