Icelandair’s user friendly website allows you to purchase and book seats with a minimum of aggravation. They fly only one nonstop each day from Reykjavik to Munich, departing at 7:20a, arriving at 1:05p. All other flights make a stop. Grudgingly flying Icelandair, a non-Star Alliance partner, I must admit it is a very nice carrier, and they offer free stopovers when booking with them. Plan a stopover on your way to or from Europe for up to seven nights in either direction.
Icelandair flies nonstop to Reykjavik year-round from Boston, New York, Seattle, Denver and seasonal service from other cities and I think they are adding service to Chicago. Two women from New York on the L’Austral Iceland Cruise took advantage of this offer and flew to London for a four-night stay and then on to Reykjavik at no extra cost. Such a deal!

There is ample legroom in Economy and flight attendants are personable.
Have you ever heard the old saying, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch?” That certainly applies to Icelandair as well as other airlines when sitting in Economy; there is a charge for alcoholic beverages, food and passengers must bring their own headsets to watch free movies! Did you ever? Before you know it, passengers will be expected to bring their own toilet paper!

The 3:45 flight passed quickly and there we were in Munich. Because Munich is part of the Schengen Agreement, there is no Immigration and since our ultimate destination today was Ischgl in Austria, a 5+ hour train ride from Munich still remained. Tune up your yodeling pipes and we’ll see you there!
