With almost half of its passengers transiting through Reykjavík onwards to the US (or heading the other way to Europe), Icelandair is part of a handy stopover program that lets travelers stay in Iceland for up to seven days at no extra charge. With tourism on the rise in Iceland, there are plenty of passengers flying with Icelandair to visit the country itself – according to the airline’s latest passenger figures for June, 31% of its passengers are traveling into Iceland, 15% are flying out, 49% are transit passengers, and 4% are flying within Iceland.

Icelandic carriers Icelandair and PLAY give passengers the unique opportunity to tour the island before continuing their journey.
Codeshare benefits
Icelandair has codeshare partnerships with two US carriers – Alaska Airlines and JetBlue Airways – enabling passengers to seamlessly connect to onward services stateside. For example, when flying into Seattle-Tacoma – a primary hub for Alaska – passengers can access over 100 direct destinations, both domestic and international.

JetBlue’s partnership primarily benefits travelers to the US East Coast, particularly Boston and New York. The airline flies to almost 90 destinations directly from New York-JFK, while it connects Boston to around 75 destinations.
