It’s pretty rare to find a reason to write about Icelandair but they’ve made it possible by announcing their intention to fly to Denver in the near future.  Icelandair will offer non-stop flights on their 757 aircraft between Denver and Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik.  The flights will be offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

 Denver to Iceland is doable in the 757 but a non-stop flight to Iceland isn’t *that* attractive to many here in the United States.  However, Iceland is likely going to offer some nicely priced flights connecting to Europe is my guess. 

Why Denver?  I have no idea of the official stance on this but it’s notable that Icelandair has cooperated with Southwest Airlines in Baltimore in the past and Southwest does have a strong presence in Denver.  So far, no official mention of cooperation between the airlines has been mentioned.
