Having essentially no FF program or partners could position them to be Southwest's Europe partner. Southwest is very public that they're on the hunt. Icelandair is their only tolerable and logical option. By all indications, Southwest, WestAir and Volaris are all going back to the drawing board in favor of one common program, or each having one that looks like the others. Doesn't Icelandair already fly into several Southwest stations? And Southwest did choose Terminal E at BOS. @:-)

As I understand it, Saga Club is worthless unless you live in Iceland.
Points can't be used/earned on other airlines or elsewhere outside Iceland. However, if you live in Iceland and get one of their credit cards, it can be a good way to earn vacations abroad.
So let's think of Saga Club as a kind of subsidy for Icelanders :P

How can miles (e.g. from Icelandair's FF program) be transferred to Marriott or HHonors points programs?
And would the transfers be on a 1 mile for 1 point basis?

I brought up their FF program in a somewhat critical light, with something like the above post as an example. The response was, "You've gotta understand that FF programs aren't the main reason that people fly an airline..." Point taken.....

But then, if a FF programme is not important to them, why is Saga Club an option on so "many" credit cards issued in Iceland?

I'm still curious about this transfer possibility. Anyone have information on how a transfer to Marriott or Hilton from Icelandair can be accomplished? Although I don't have many Icelandair miles I wouldn't mind transferring them to somewhere where they could come in handy.

This is a useful tool to use: Webflyer Mileage Converter
Just took a quick look at it.
It looks like it will be useful for me - and others.
Appreciate your posting it.

What about for travel from BOS to REK in Jan? There don't seem to be any promos but this would seem to be a very low season?

Be aware that Icelanair operated some 757-200 (without winglets) which have an old style (or let's say US domestic F class) seats) with no IFE or AVOD. It is bearable on the flights like CPH-KEF which are under 3 hours but this C seat is not good to seat for 5h for sure.
Also I've noticed that Eco Extra seats are very narrow there.
