ALERT: Icelandair cancels Anchorage-Reykjavik nonstop flight this summer (2022) |
Icelandair, an Alaska Air mileage partner, had scheduled twice-weekly nonstop flights to Iceland starting May 16, 2022.
Those flights are canceled.
If you have tickets on Icelandair, contact them right away 800-223-5500.
If you're traveling on an Alaska Airlines mileage ticket, or if Alaska Airlines issued your ticket, contact Alaska Air right away to rebook.
Icelandair will fly nonstop from the U.S. to Iceland from several other gateways, including SEA, MSP, ORD, JFK + BOS.
Lots of folks are asking "Why?" The airline did not issue an official press release on this (airlines rarely do). But the reason that comes up the most is "fuel prices". Along those lines, Icelandair will initiate a fuel surcharge starting next week. |
Q: What about that grand prize on Icelandair for the "Quest for the Ultimate Alaska Adventure"?
A: The grand prize is a $1,500 flight credit. The winner can use it on any flight. Seattle is the closest Icelandair gateway this summer. But the airline also flies to/from Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York/JFK and Boston (among others). |
ALERT: Frontier Airlines cancels twice-weekly Anchorage-Denver summertime nonstop flights |

Those flights are cancelled.
If you are booked on Frontier Airlines, contact them right away: 801-401-9000.
Both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines provide nonstop Anchorage-Denver service. |
