Delta has excellent partner award space between JFK, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Reykjavik, Iceland.

You can book a true bargain with Air France Flying Blue miles and can save even more thanks to a Chase transfer bonus. See below for the full details and a mileage comparison.

Iceland is a truly incredible place and Icelandair currently has some excellent fares to visit the land of fire and ice.

I visited in 2021 and was blown away by the sheer beauty of it all. Flying over an active volcano was just the icing on the cake.

You can bring your own food into Iceland or contact Chabad to arrange for food in Iceland.
