In its 2023-2024 winter season, Icelandair is increasing its capacity by 20- 25 per cent due to increasing demand, including upgrading its YVR route to year-round from seasonal, and flying to Vancouver four times a week.
During the season, which begins in OCT, 2023, Icelandair will fly to 36 destinations from Reykjavik.
Frequency to a number of destinations has been increased and for the first-time day flights to New York and Boston are added to the winter schedule, putting weekly flights up to 11 from Reykjavik to Boston, and 21 from Reykjavik to New York.
Stopover flexibility
The expansion of frequency and year-round destinations in Icelandair's North American network will also allow pax more options for transatlantic connections. The year-round daytime flights to Boston and New York offer a comfortable departure time from Iceland, as well as numerous connections onwards to destinations all around the US via its partnership with JetBlue.
The greater capacity and route expansion also gives passengers more choice when it comes to transatlantic stopovers in Iceland. The program allows travellers to experience Iceland for a few days on their way between European and North American destinations, at no extra airfare.
