We're off to Iceland in two weeks! We were already booked on BA, however.
There are lots of reports on Iceland from the $61 fares a few years back.

Anyone trying to book on www.IcelandAir.com getting an error stating that they are "unable to located departure flights at this time"?

"Note!

Please note that points can retroactively be registered within six (6) months after the date they were earned."

Hey, for this fare, I can live with not accruing miles. Thanks to the OP for this posting.

Hmm, any luck finding this on any other IcelandAir combinations? Especially out of BWI or JFK ? I am not seeing much here, and WAS-MSP can often cost as much as WAS-KEF .


Can't wait to get back to Iceland!

$288 all-in is great for me and very timely as I need a few personal flights from MSP to Europe and would rather not use 40-50k miles for such a trip.

Thank you to the OP and others here. ^^

Nope. I certainly checked the fares out of BWI, and this rate wasn't there. I already have IcelandAir tickets booked for May that cost $650 each, so this fare from MSP wouldn't have saved me much once the WAS-MSP ticket is factored in.

I never would have considered going to Iceland had the $0 fare not popped up a few years ago. Now it's one of my favorite places in the world.

The seats are being taken pretty quickly. Finding seats is getting a little tougher at this time than 24 hours earlier.

Yeah, wish I could make some use of it. I guess the "glass half empty" view would be to look at how much the taxes are (not helped by LON as an endpoint and the double whammy there). If they do a stopover-allowed low one to a lower-tax place I'd be up for popping the extra $ to get to whatever gateway and use it mainly for a trip to Iceland.

Is this fair still around? What dates have people found? Any other Cities that it is available from or to?

Have a nice trip in Iceland. I've been there twice and would go back again if I had the time. Don't forget to spend at least a few hours at Blue Lagoon. ^

Going to Travelocity.com and using "flexible dates" to search is one of the easier approaches to find the lowest available fare on IcelandAir for MSP-LON and the dates available. (A lot fewer dates are available now than 40 hours ago.)
