It was confirmed online within minutes of submitting the request. Single and Double rooms were available. If any other single traveller wants to double up on a room, happy to do so and lower the cost.

Outbound JFK-KEF 6/18, returning KEF-JFK 6/23. I will be traveling solo and am interested in moderately inexpensive lodging and hopefully a longish trip to the countryside and maybe doing some photography:

lensman details can be found here

FYI I booked through a hostels website and found the price to be even less. ~$85 for each night. If I can find the link to the site tonight at home I booked through, I will post it as well.
FYI double rooms are still available (checked today), may be able to switch to one and share, still waiting to hear back from someone else on that but will have an answer tomorrow.

Now that it appears tickets are arriving all over the place when/where are we all going to meet? My sister and father are on what I presume to be the inagural June 3 JFK-KEF flight of this month-long extravaganza. I'll be on the June 26 one with my wife & kids (The kids fare was $46.11, by the way!)

I'll be in town on the 27th night & the 30th night - but I'm renting a car on the 28th & heading out of town, returning on the 30th (not sure where I'm going & where I'm sleeping, but it'll be a 2-day roadtrip in another country - I'll bring my sleeping bag & maybe even my tent)
Anyone else interested in the 27th??

June 19th - 26th
I have the first two nights booked in a dorm room at Guesthouse Centrum, in the center city. Thought I'd wing it from there, probably schedule a bus tour, etc. Want very much to see the countryside. Traveling alone and very up for hanging out inexpensively with others here.
