[QUOTE="GetawaysRus, post: 818633, member: 3821"] I wish the AA option had been there last summer when my wife and I visited Iceland. We flew to Iceland from Europe for a week and a half stay in Iceland, but then our return to the USA was a problem. My wife has back issues, so I always try to put us in Business class on longer flights. For the return, I used Chase U.R. points (through the U.R. Travel Agency) to pay for KEF to JFK on Iceland Air in Business class. We then needed an overnight near JFK, so I used some SPG points for a (crummy) hotel nearby. Then the next morning we flew the AA Transcon in First from JFK to LAX using AA miles. Then a limo from LAX to home. The JFK to LAX Transcon in First is a very nice experience. But overall, I probably would have preferred the option to fly AA to DFW and then connect onward to our home airport (ONT). If you haven't been to Iceland, start making your plans. It's an interesting place to visit. I tell people that it's a mix of the mountains and glaciers of Alaska along with the geothermal features of Yellowstone. [/QUOTE]
