Cheap round-trip fares to Iceland – $397 on Icelandair!!!

[Deals like this tend to expire quickly so this article may be out of date after December 31, 2015]

The nice part of this deal is that Icelandair, not WOW, is offering the discounted fare to Iceland.  I flew on WOW in September and was satisfied with my $450 round-trip ticket to Europe; however, given the chance to travel again, I would pay the extra money to fly on another airline.  Icelandair allows you to earn miles with Alaska Airlines (a great frequent flier program) and you get 2 free checked bags and a carry on (although I have no idea who would need that much luggage).  WOW would charge a significant fee for each piece of luggage since WOW only allows you to bring a free 11lbs carry on item onto the plane.

  • How to bookOrbitz (you can accrue Orbucks)

Alaska Airlines allows you to credit Icelandair flights toward its frequent flier program, which I recommend (unless if you fly to Iceland a lot).
