Iceland?
Any justifiable *alliance flight from ORD to KEF? Hard to justify anything other than the Icelandic nonstop from ORD at 1/3 the price!! But it's all about the UA miles.

Isn't the only viable *A option SK via CPH or OSL or somesuch? Not exactly efficient from the US.

No. Get over the miles thing and save cash and/or time and take another option.

I'm surprised UA hasn't tried it, but they haven't.

Hello, so I tried to search for the answer in the forum but without success. Does the lounge in KEF allow *gold members?

Have you checked Star Alliances lounge finder?

According to this page only if you are departing on LH or OS.

Also a detailed pdf can be found here. Was there a couple years ago, and thought it was a really nice lounge space.
