Stopover in Iceland 2015
« on: May 19, 2015, 06:51:17 AM »

For a whole weekend, flights will criss-cross the far North Atlantic ocean in both directions, bringing passengers between the continents of Europe and North America.

But that's not all.

Bright nights, stunning scenery and the world's northernmost capital city await every lucky passenger and crew member. All flights will stop overnight at Keflavík International Airport, with free transfers to nearby Reykjavík for an unforgettable night in the big village atmosphere of Iceland's lively capital.

Partners for 2015
Europe
Amsterdam Schipol (EHAM)
London Heathrow (EGLL)

North America
Newark Liberty International (KEWR)
John F. Kennedy International (KJFK)

Here's how it works:

Day 1 - Saturday 23rd May
Flights will depart simultaneously from 2 airports on either side of the Atlantic, starting from 14:00z, bound for Keflavik (BIKF) in Iceland. The first landings will commence around 17:00z and ATC will cover the capital region until at least 22:00z when the last flight is expected to touch down. Airport shuttles will be ready to whisk all arrivals down the road to your hotels in Reykjavík City.

Day 2 - Sunday 24th May
Around noon all passengers should find their airport shuttle waiting outside the hotel, where you will be driven up to Keflavík to join your flight. Departures for North America will commence at 14:00z, whilst European flights will start pushing back at 16:00z. This should ensure that everyone is on the 'other side of the pond' by 22:00z on Sunday night, full of memories of their Icelandic stopover.

Bookings are open!
