Not a screaming great deal like WOW!! BUSINESS CLASS TO EUROPE FOR $1,000!!!!!, but if I was in the market for a Europe trip next year I'd bite, not least because I would really like the Iceland stopover.
That's true, DTW is just terrible for deals of any kind, very rarely are any with any airline...The KEF stopover is definitely a plus. Not being able to credit the miles to any major FFP is a minus.
Any competition added to DTW is good, after Icelandair and TK come, there is some hope for some better deals...
