Glasgow and Manchester to Iceland and on to the US

Icelandair is to change its current arrangements with respect to Glasgow and Manchester to Iceland starting 20 September 2011.  Out goes the current Keflavik – Manchester – Glasgow "triangle route" and in comes direct non-stop services.  The Glasgow operation will be three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.  From Manchester flights will operate up to three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

Keflavik International Airport (KEF) is 30 miles from the Iceland capital of Reykjavik (RKV) which has its own small airport for regional flights. 

The result will be additional capacity from both Glasgow and Manchester, as well as quicker elapsed flying times to Icelandair's North American destinations.  With the new flights, Icelandair claims to offer the fastest time from Glasgow to Boston, New York City (JFK), Orlando and Seattle too.  It is also quickest from Manchester to Boston and Seattle. www.icelandair.co.uk
